Painting is becoming an extension of my body: I paint to explore the world. We came to this earth without words. And in our thoughts we dreamt of cosmos: looking towards the sky. It was only until we defined it that we knew what it was. We thought it was unreachable. But we looked back and could see our own footsteps, tracing the path from long ago – where we came from all along. They both meet together at this single point: the end and the beginning. We are born without knowing who we are, and we grow our lives to seek the answer to “I am.” The physicality of making painting, for me, is existential in its subconscious creative process.
