Under The Cortex (Series), 2014

In my work, my main concerns are myself and my thoughts. Therefore, my paintings are always focused on six main perceptions: Self-Portrait, Complexity of Brain, Universe, The status of Stillness, Map and Dream. For me, these topics 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 its possibilities. 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 performing surgery on myself; the idea of surgery also creates more space to think about the complexity.
