In my work, my main concerns are myself and my thoughts. Therefore, my paintings are always focused on six main perceptions, which are Self-Portrait, Complexity of Brain, Universe, The status of Stillness, Map and Dream. For me, these topics' relationships are closely related to each other.
Currently, my art practice is trying to develop the idea of Complexity of Brain. What is the exact reason for the numerous thoughts in my mind? It is really interesting and leads me to want to explore the possibilities of it. Thus, through this concept, I attempt to use psychological and mathematical ways to explain it, and I see myself as a doctor and patient at the same time, to heal myself through the monologue from the inner part. During this process, I imagine acting like a doctor to analyse and dissect my brain, and then observe it as a method. It seems like I am doing a surgery to (for) myself; the idea of surgery is also creating more space to think about the complexity.From the same artist
