STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The narrative is the main idea of my artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to work in series, explore stories, poems, and\/or brief sentences to understand what we can see that had not been said, what is behind the stories, and try to find out who owns these words. My work has been driven by a desire to reveal an image with strong poetic content, where the body is physical and represents personal speech. My work is a record of a precise moment that alludes to the poetry of the mind and the connotations that it takes on the body. My work using collage started two years ago when I conceived a series about idiomatic expression. I thought it would be a limited series, but it turned out to be a passion. From appropriation of famous artworks, recycling art magazines and books, I created 200 collages so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
