My works are ultimately about being human. Every decision I make from pushing boundaries of an ink pen to the creation of textures, layers and patterns of nature on the figures is so I can resonate with the complexity of the human emotion. The narratives of my works are the result of learning to face my personal experiences and recognising how complex humans are. My realisation on the human experience underscore the delicate and intricate textures and layers of nature that I place on the figures. The leaves and rocks on my drawings may seem pleasing at first glance, but within the fine details viewers will notice there are so much distortion and brokenness - black blots, peelings, broken leaf skeletons, dead skins, like they are struggling to survive. I believe this contradiction creates a tension that captivates us, and echoes the uniqueness of humans.

Viewers can see the reticulate venations of leaves on the human bodies which are formed by veinlets irregularly distributed over its lamina, contrary to the parallel venation. I find these veins bear similarities to the unpredictabilities in humans. The human pain has pushed me to embrace my trypophobia, in order to create visuals that provoke me rather than simply satisfying to the eye. The chaotic black blots viewers would notice on my artworks are the result of my ongoing research on leaf spot diseases and rock erosions. By manipulating my discomfort poetically into art through the countless black blots, I want to demonstrate the truth of being human.

By using only an ink pen and my fingers to smudge, I have been able to create raw textures of nature. Through striving to transcend the limits of an ink pen, I am learning and exploring how subjects assumed to be so simple, can be so profound once grasped.

As my creativity grows, so does my curiosity for other art forms such as philosophy, poetry, film and music, especially those that mingle with the soothing and unsettling together. This together with the comtemplation of my personal experiences give me an increasingly better understanding about my world, my life and myself, to inspire me to create vivid visions.
