Why am I here? How do other people and I exist as human beings? My art is a means for me to observe other people’s perspectives. I am interested in exploring my past, present, and future, which are all really just abstractions of space of time. In my work, I question my physical and mental existence. I have found that I want to have a physical presence and experience at the point when my work communicates to the viewer.

To explore my curiosity about life and humans, I started my interests of experimenting time-specific, site-specific, people interactive live performance or video installation. I think it’s quite interesting to use time-based or place-based artistic method, such as video or performance to explore and study the sense of existence and absence which are a lot of time deeply related to the context of time and space. Through my work, I also try to combine these different artistic methods. Not only “I” as a person-medium to be part of work to experience my art happening in the real time and place, I also question the viewers’ physical and mental existence in different condition of time and place.
