Abstract

I personify my artistic work in multiple forms, endow them with the quality of being exquisite as being "live" objects. 

Filling the empty corners and walls with my favorite stuff in my house seems necessary to me to feel secure thus I make pieces that I imagine being surrounded by the best collection by placing and organizing them in a touchable distance, such as wall shelves or bookshelves in my own space.  I feel both physically and mentally comfortable with the atmosphere that these objects create and convey to me as a relatively sensitive and introverted person.

The state of being free from agitation and disturbance to me is the prerequisite to conduct studio practice, being able to be fully focus on pieces requires calmness despite of the external manifestation. Doing ceramics offers me a lot of meditative moment that, sometimes, when I am throwing, with my wheel spinning and my hands touching clay, the softness of the clay and the regular movement of the wheel both settle my mind. Besides, I feel I am creating a tiny life when making the limbs for my vases out of a clay lump by sculpting, carving and eventually sponging to get a smooth and human-like skin texture. This meditative process guides me to have a better understanding of myself. It is therapeutic that makes up for my regret and helps me getting rid the traumas from the past experience. 

I seem to get inspiration from everywhere. I realize the features of my appreciation that I come across might not even be noticeable or considered attractive by others. For example, they could just be the color palette of a bunch of cut flowers in a grocery store, an image in a fashion magazine, etc.
