There are two part as my study: Hide Under Movement and In a Daze…
Hide Under Movement, the boundaries of colours and material.

Question about how to find oneself a comfort zone, the freedom spirit extremely throb but suffering locked under human body form… but… the anxiety was consoled by the natural movement
In a Daze… the boundaries between soft and hard, copper, aluminum
It is about moment and movement that I trying to document “touching” as diary, I see my feeling and willing to share it as three dimension. The delicacy of wire texture remains my visual obsession while catching the fleeting beauty and help me to release from daily suffocation and loneliness.
It is the moment fireworks explosives and I saved it as a soft sculpture…
