Study of The Marbling Technique

Conceal Himself in The Glaciers and Then Reveal

Repetition of Creation

We all live in repetition. Rather, we ourselves originate from repetition - a genetic, cultural, aesthetic and philosophical repetition.

repetition serves not only as a technique to express an artistic form, but also as a methodology to explore cultural identity and social values.

For me, working on ceramics and Marbling techniques is a reflection on traditional crafts and contemporary art, as well as an inquiry into my own culture and history. I will focus on the repetitiveness in different fields and crafts, and embody the difference and uniqueness in the cycle of repetition through artistic creation, as a way to generate and create new meanings and values.

Matters Within 

Glaciers, rocks, magma, clays and ceramics, they are substances that are constantly in action and being generated, just like us. They have a longer timeline, a different destiny and future. I long to understand inorganic matter as much as I want to understand my own existence. What can we see in the midst of matter?

I hope to answer this question through art. This journey involves a rethinking of geology, biology and aesthetics in matter, an excavation of the hidden connections between the material world and artistic expression, with the aim of exploring how the material world around us can be transformed into an aesthetic object that embodies the essence of our existence.

Unvoiced River, Unheard Object

We are all in different rivers, and even we ourselves will gradually become part of the river landscape. Where we come from and where we go back to is accumulated by time, forming a dream-like field.

This project is based on the study of urban memory, deceased and old objects. Through this research, I hope to understand how a city's past shapes our present like a silent river travelling through time, and how our memories of it carry our souls and essences like nameless objects floating silently on this river.

To the questions of who we are, where we came from, and where we are going, bits and pieces of the past will turn into starlight in the night sky, illuminating our path and helping us to find our own coordinates.
