I collect fragments of images from daily experience and recall and regroup them under a setting of landscapes and space. They are the records and responses towards the anxiety brought by the physical and psychological distance between lands, past and future presented in a form of narrative and experience. These anxieties are transformed into visual motifs like transportation, portals, water and animals in these discontinuous landscapes I made. I see this act similar to the process in recalling memories, they are fused into a narrative without linear timeline and are projected by the forms of printmaking, drawing, clay and sound. These media allow me to record time, create scenes and a nostalgic ambience. These landscapes exist as a vague space between the two realities that provoke the audience with a sense of suspense and quietness that may trigger their emotions and their latent traumatic memories.
