My sculpture series is a three-dimensional journal that conveys snippets of my emotions and feelings toward life. I often write my experience in a journal but find it inadequate to convey how I truly feel. As a result, I translate these paragraphs to a visual form that is three dimensional, simplistic, and often relatable to many. I call these sculptures “three dimensional hieroglyphs of my experience.” Often times, the true meaning of text and words are just beneath that thin layer of their lexical meaning. In other words, we live in a metaphorical world.
My burnt canvases reflect my obsession with the dichotomy of creating by destroying. The Daoists believe that for one end of the spectrum to exist, the other end is essential. There would be no light without dark, no good without evil, no yin without yang.
