Artist's statement:
I am interested in re-discovery of everyday things that are
around me. Or should I say I am interested in re-interpretation of
trivial things in my everyday life?
In my work, I attempt to show something special or uncanny about
these "trivial" things by discovering what is hidden behind them. My
fascination of these "trivial" things is driven from how I
personally identify with them; it is very possible that they somehow
speak on behalf my hidden emotions, thoughts, desires,
vulnerabilities and state of alienation.
When I recognise "sameness" between the "trivial" things and myself,
I experience a sense of sympathy or even a sense of ecstasy. This
recognition prompts me to transform those things by giving them
"life" so that they, like me, can share a sense of existence, even
if this process of transformation may come from my egotistical
desire to obtain a sense of existence and (or) to transform myself.
