The world is full of messages and communications that are often unnoticed or misinterpreted due to our differences in culture, personality or the emotions we have when reading the messages. I attempt to develop a visual language that reveals concealed emotions in conversations or connections in human relationships. Light and shadow serve important roles in my artworks as they suggest the impermanent and transient quality of communication. The layering of images or objects is also used in my practice as metaphors for both intimacy and obscurity in conversation. The language of abstraction is important to me in expressing the complexity of communication as I make a series of artworks using everyday physical objects, prints or videos that explore silent languages. I attempted to show how a familiar language could seem to be distant or foreign to us due to diverse cultural, historical, personal backgrounds, or mode of expression. 人有時會因為文化 背景 表達方式 個性或情緒 忽視或誤解了身邊的信 息 作品運用抽象語言去表達溝通的複雜性 以光影去暗示信息的短暫 及以 層疊的圖像或物體隱喻溝通和對話的親密性和含糊性的本質 一系列作品以日 常物件 身體印記及無聲錄像去訴說一切於人際關係中隱藏著熟悉卻又遙遠的 語言和不可言喻的情緒
