Stone fish is from one of her solo exhibition’s (Yhlayuen Solo Exhibition: Stone) work in Singapore. “I derive great joy from using my hands to engrave stone and becoming one with the stone. When I sketch on the stone or engrave it, when the stone chips or cracks, when I color the engraved stone and imprint its image, my spirit becomes one with the stone and we share our feelings together. During this time, I am transferred to another world where nothing else can enter. This world is in the space of a small stone. I have made stone the theme of this exhibition because, as the stone and I become one, the form of nature and the character of humanity are freely fused together and engraved. These stones, newly born as works of art, have various forms. Though the forms are small, they are my condensed spiritual world expanded into art.” November, 2014 Yhlayuen
