Biography
Artist Statement
My practice begins with language. Within Chinese calligraphy, I find a visual system that contains history, memory, and emotion, yet remains open to continual reinterpretation.
Growing up in Hong Kong and working across different cultural environments has shaped my understanding of identity as something fluid rather than fixed. Through ink, gesture, and mark-making, I explore how personal experiences become embedded within visual forms.
Many of my works begin with a single character, phrase, or concept. As the process develops, meaning becomes less literal and more experiential. What remains is not simply language, but an emotional trace — a record of movement, memory, and presence.
Rather than preserving tradition as a static form, I seek to engage with it as a living practice. My work aims to create a dialogue between heritage and contemporary experience, inviting viewers to encounter language beyond its conventional function.
