Artist Statement
My current “Third Space” series presents a personal, virtual artistic space by projecting specific images onto nude self-portraits.
The series is inspired by my life experience during the pandemic. The works express my pursuit of spiritual freedom and nobility in solitude.
When painting these self-portraits with self-entertainment and fantasy, I try to connect them with social conditions to conduct cultural criticism and reflection.
