I sketch and paint at my leisure time.
My works might be about how colors intertwine and how lines of different thickness transform into each other.
They are combinations of energies: less than 1% come from me, more than 99% come from this world itself.
Born and raised in a seaside family where my grandparents make a traditional crafts called seven-mother’s pavilion, I joined their creative process each year before the Qiqiao Festival. Boiling rice to make paste, pasting wishes onto the framework of pavilions with them, I knew what my grandparents did was not merely about making a living.
Qiqiao Festival is about revealing wishes of the children to the seven-mother. What seven-mother’s pavilion looks like reminds people nothing about love. But surely these energies stay there, just like how my works seem nowhere near love — but indeed there is.
I do hope you find love in that 99%, if not you will find it in that 1%.
