An artist from the earth stays in NY

Name:

My recent work can be best described as a series of ‘cognitive machinesʼ, To create a visual translation of cognitive thought, I start by constructing structures and icons that represent people and emotions. I deconstruct the information I gather from their movement and contours. New forms emerge through the utilization of color and shape, devouring and modifying existing details while creating interaction among the subjects. Through the intertwining accumulation of metaphors, I set the stage for a play starring the visual representations of human characteristics.

Study of Figure 2006 06








I tried to evade the matter of truth,
and that method of approach made beautiful creatures.

Days of Being Wild


One day,

I found a big book on the street.

Beautiful story and breathtaking pictures caught my eyes and mind.

I read and read again, and I cried a lot.

Everyday I slept with this book

Everyday I awoke with this book

Seems like my life had changed

One day,

suddenly I started to think

this book wasn't mine

this happiness wasn't mine.

As soon as I got the home,

I ripped it up and burned it out

One day,

I went back to normal life

but

something was missing,

something was missing.
