ARTIST STATEMENT

I create interactive installations exploring language, perspective, and being present—transforming overlooked daily phenomena into collective discovery experiences. I invite audiences to immerse themselves in installations that reveal how blind spots, unconscious assumptions, and precious-moment awareness fundamentally alter viewpoints and shared reality interpretation.

My works function as platforms where participants discover perceptual shifts through direct experience. By creating collaborative viewing environments, I facilitate conversations about how individual emotional or recognition states influence understanding. Audiences become co-researchers exploring the fluid boundary between objective artwork and subjective experience based on belief, inclination, and memory.

As a Buddhist since childhood, rooted in principles of impermanence and mindful observation, my work embraces perception's ephemeral nature. Through this practice, I help people recognise that other perspectives are equally valid and welcome, and we can learn from each other when we remain open-minded. This fosters deeper empathy and understanding in navigating differences and accepting ourselves and others as we are.
