Details or notes regarding any of your featured works:


My work questions the condition of relationship and communication of modern society. I am interested in the exchange of communication under various social influences. The conceptual oeuvre for my latest works deals with culture through information and communication technologies and how they transform human relationships. I question if the rapid and often impersonal virtual contact with each other is beneficial to society. Can social networking sustain as a mode of effective communication and how will it transform social behaviors and norm?

Follow your vision and let go of your ego.





Artistic weapon(s) of choice:


Digital printing process, brushes, spray paints, acrylic mediums, my hands, and old-school Kung Fu movies.
