Artist Statement

My artwork focuses primarily on myself and my character, Anne. She has featured frequently in my pieces since the second semester of my eleventh grade. Almost all of my works tell a story, and Anne typically serves as a sort of alter ego for me; unlike conventional characters, she lacks a defined narrative arc, appearing instead in a fragmented manner, with her physical appearance undergoing varying degrees of transformation.

My pieces typically draw upon my personal experiences and daily life; in this context, comics serve as an excellent narrative tool. During the creative process, I record spontaneous ideas in my sketchbook, then select from them to craft stories and compile them into comics. With the completion of each piece, I gain a clearer understanding of my own identity.

When it comes to ceramics, I really enjoy the hands-on process of constructing three-dimensional sculptures. Compared to painting, ceramics possess a richer texture and a stronger physical presence; it allows me to engage senses beyond the visual—specifically touch and hearing. Furthermore, I have a keen interest in studying glazes; I maintain a collection of test tiles to experiment with the results of various chemical reactions. A proficient command of glazing techniques gives me greater mastery over my work, enabling me to apply the precise glaze needed to achieve the desired textures and colors whenever necessary.
