Not For Sale
I am not a writer, so I apologize for any “un-etiquettes”. Communication was never easy for me. I've had to learn several languages through life and sometimes they intertwine in my head. Making art is my “language”. It’s my best interpretation of what I see as communication. There are specific words that cannot be interpreted from one language to another unless you’ve been immersed in it. Chinese, is one of the most beautiful and complex languages: sometimes it’s characters are a pictogram of what the word means, and the pronunciation and tone of the word can be complementary to its meaning. The word「呼吸」 , means “breathe” in English. When pronounced, “who shi”, you’ll notice “who,” sounds like an exhale in a breath, and “shi” sounds like an inhale. There is a purpose in the pronunciation of the word. A word is not just a word, it’s a sensation. I am communicating the depths and layers in languages that can’t be recaptured in another through a universal human visual language in my art.
