Born and raised in Chiayi, graduated from a creative group of the graduate school at the Department of Fine Arts, Tunghai University.
The creative concept of “home” repeatedly came up in all of my creation series, showing the importance of searching for the origin starting from oneself, searching for the lost part in the tradition to agglomerate and recreate the looks of various house buildings; I have been repeatedly searching for a home to establish a direction for the heart.
Searching for the creative direction from life experiences, the different living environments, and people I spent time with during the various stages gave me the power to create; returning to the root residence and traditional one-story houses, the old houses passed down by the predecessors are filled with ancient strong vitality, such that the buildings of decades or even centuries of history feature a unique ability to summon, animals passing away and being reborn, but the old houses preserved these scents. Old houses are used as a medium to guide the audiences in entering an ancient memory.
The most primitive materials from nature are used, including paints blended with powdered minerals and animal glues, as well as vintage drawers and objects picked up from old buildings. To search for the traces from accessible life tracks, and apply different approaches for the creation and documentation.
The transformation of modern living space resulted in the vanishing of many traditional lifestyles, attempt to re-decompose and re-assemble via a new presentation approach, to create new looks and new models through surreal spaces until the ideal mental imagery architectural space is accomplished.
