For painting, it seems that I can clearly feel the existence and death of time, and creation is the process of materializing time for me. The process of creating the works in this exhibition is very healing, and I slowly construct the visual elements that I usually pay attention to, are interested in, and stimulate me through my own methods. In this series, I try to put aside the figurative factor, and pay more attention to the texture and texture of the picture itself, which has already appeared in my initial creation, just like the mottled texture of ancient murals, old antiques or childhood "treasures" that have been treasured for many years, giving me the feeling that it is the accumulation of countless worthless little things precipitated over the years, and it is also the visual "sense of time" that I want to express.
