Artist Statement

It occurs to me, history was a series of timelines, scattered, discarded, and recollected at various while random places. With a vignette gleaned from the past, I “write” stories; I “write” the story which lingers on an untimely ideal, a pursuit for the calling on a forgotten dream.

Here and there comes the epoch where great aspiration meets unshakable disappointment. Here and there vague ideals fall short while noble strives get to dissolve into mere oblivion.

Through my artworks, I create mythologies, personal mythologies, which intertwine with various timelines about the past and the present, weaved into an alternative truth for a kind of life beyond the self, looking upon threads of the future.
