I think being an artist is similar to being a detective; the case on hand is to investigate the self. I always felt that mysterious feeling and the uncertainty at the beginning of every project. To create art is to keep discovering these clues continuously and try to link them together until the case is resolve. It is about self-doubt, it is worrying, it is conquering, it is surprising, it is exciting, and it is about success. My inspiration comes from my sensitivity towards humanity (spiritual world) and architecture (material world). Making art allows my not so perfect self to relive beautifully once more, transforming my thought physically into reality.
