Transition

Artist Statement

Often my artworks originate as a spontaneous emotional release; however I have always been inspired by the surroundings around me and have allowed myself to use emotions as a foundation to evolve my creativity.

In all these years of art making, I am always inspired to release my emotions creatively as a way to explore my inner feelings. My art sometimes feels like an escape. It comes about as an act of desperation. I believed that my art work is an extension of myself to express and explain my life journal.

Human forms have always fascinated me. I have been drawn to the face and form as the imagery that most deeply allows me to explore myself, others, society and transcend meaning. My works often depict a range of emotional content that stipulated intentional distortion and manipulation of the form.

In Search of Identity

Have you ever wonder what is your own identity?
Have you ever wonder whether the works that you created original?
In this artwork it reflects my personal experience of what is my identity and to a certain extent, what is Singapore identity?

In this artwork, I uses my body and various artist's work to depict my desperation to in search for identity.
