Throughout my practice I tried to approximate the invisible ingredients- structure/ element/ motive that shaped a pictorial world, artistically as well as contextually.
I focus on building up a virtual space by filling the space with liquefied Peranakan tile motifs, suggesting an uncertain status to the foundation of my multiracial culture background. I imitate the different expressions of liquid, referring to the social phenomenal that concurrently happen, which I think that causes the dislocation of the culture inheritance.
In the liquid times, nothing is really permanent: relationship, territory, power, believe, identity… I try not to hold on anything that float on surface but learn to swim, or sink.
