In this noisy world, we put on masks and choose silence;
Under the mask of silence, the dialogue between I and self seems harsh.
We expect, explore, pursue, struggle and even transcend to find so-called “self”
However, we find —— after having searched inside and outside the body, there is no independent existing entity that can be called as “self”.
Under the mask, who am “I”?
It is only an imaginary fallacious persistence ; it is only an empty symbol that does not actually exist.

My works were inspired by Sigmund Freud's personality theory-- id, ego and superego. Besides, I used surrealistic photographic skills as the basis of image language and employed Montage method to select, capture and reconstruct for overthrowing traditional thinking mode of combination of objects in most of cases.
I look forward to conducting internal self-dialogue to dig out my true feelings to outside world, to reflect inside psychological status and to discuss the issue of existence, individual consciousness and interactive network relationships between groups. In this chaotic process of continuous self-organizing and -reflecting, I tried to clarify the shapes of self and existence, reflecting the state of internal life.
In the images, the use of “mask” could be regarded as symbols of identity and status. The reflective images of “Mirror” and “Water Surface” are expressions of entering sub-consciousness and self-examination. The images of “Door and Window” and “Stairs” could be referred to symbols of transition, a hint connecting real and unreal world, meaning transiting to another state.
“Human Body” is the projection of myself, such as lonely unsettling moving, swinging limbs, struggling, looking into far distance or escaping. All of these movements represent that I am floating up and down in consciousness and sub-consciousness, and struggling to find out the answer of life story.
