I try to approach the subject of 'self-awareness' or 'ego' from different angles-and always want to know what will happen if I could forget who I am and really to look at myself as a stranger. Things can be so different when we look at them closely or from a distance. For me, 'myself' is such a mysterious word, for all the creatures in the world 'myself' could be the most inscrutable thing. The awareness of myself is a cage that somehow limited my point of view-because that is who I am, that's how I see the world. 

I use a very simple form-the 'distance' in the 'chessboard', just want people to think about the concept of relationships. These birdman figures come from the special formation of migratory birds, which for me is a symbol of 'society'. My concept about society is more like 'sense of discipline', society for me is a form which shows the natural of the universe-everyone has their own position, way and fate.
