The Metamorphosis

With the "crazy,” fast development of urban society, there are endless issues around food safety. People eat things they do not know where ingredients come from; they breathe the air without being aware of the elements.  I fell into horrific alienation when the body of my loved one was riddled with pancreatic cancer. His body was eroded. I do not know if I can see my father, riding his motorcycle, flies as beautiful flying insects as before.

Work was informed by my father's motorcycle and insects, translucent leather shapes the strange but incredible image - it is "biological": the variability signals both the original and alienated body rolled into one "bio".  Yes, people have manufactured a great variety of objects to make their own alienation.

Urban fragments

The furniture is “stitched” with scarred leathers to create a surreal illusion throughout the scattered space, the beautiful lies of cosmetics; the dream of a princess began from childhood; always wanting to buy the sexy high heels. Desire and dream about the city girl was a sad illusion, which was shredded and then mended.

From our own lives, girls’ society live in contemporary space - hypocritical, romantic and the sentimental, are presented in a strange but fragmented form, which has a suggested aesthetic.

Mirage
This work evokes a seemingly bustling city; it seems to have linked and also been intertwined in it; this is also an illusory city. The use of materials and the performance of virtual instruments combine with an urban scene and landscape. This gives an architectural fusion of continuous expression of our life now or after a continuous spread of the world's cities. This spread also occupies our memories, and illusions. This is a worrying shadow in the subconscious - "mirage".
