Wired and Free

Life is a gift,
Life is a period of time.
I’m trying to show my life,
Show me the journey of my life.
It’s extremely simple for you,
It’s like an abstract painting,
And it’s extremely complicated for me.
A man’s life is humbled like a rope,
I try to weave it,
Hope to make a rich and brilliant gift,
To the world.

Wired and Free

Freedom is limited, only under the rules. It is human nature to break free from restrictions on freedom.

It’s a landscape of restriction and freedom.  These lines, these latitudes and longitude, are the bar boxes.  Under these rules, how to break through and obtain freedom is the key to the work. These beautiful longitude and latitude, like the institutionalized art, life, society, seems to be organized, in fact, dead, break through her, break the routine is the core value of the work. Every work is a process of freedom from the limits (line system).

Life is just a gift,

Life is a period of time.

I try to present my life, try to present the process of passing through my life.

Maybe it is easy to you, just like an abstract painting.

But as far as I am concerned, it is way too complicated.

It is composed of logic, Karma, restriction, freedom, balance, ups and downs, the rational, affection, birth and death etc…

The whole life is as humble as a string.

I make efforts to weave with them, trying to be a colorful and fascinating gift.

In recent years, my work is divided into three series, one on restriction and freedom.

Freedom is limited, only under the rules. It is human nature to break free from restrictions on freedom. It’s a landscape of restriction and freedom.  These lines, these latitudes and longitude, are the bar boxes.  Under these rules, how to break through and obtain freedom is the key to the work. These beautiful longitude and latitude, like the institutionalized art, life, society, seems to be organized, in fact, dead, break through her, break the routine is the core value of the work. Every work is a process of freedom from the limits (line system).

The other is a work about space that has something to do with the original basic structure. The earliest works of my life are also space sense, but more simple. And what these years have done is an experiment in human nature. I hope that the space I’m doing now is more of a sense of change, not just this vanishing empty house, but also a way for me to fight loneliness. In these three years, my studio was demolished, moved to a new studio, and less than a year later, because of the unscrupulous landlord, was forced to move home again, now in a farmer’s yard, but still unstable. So I have an extreme need for space.

A new series is being tried, with photographic images included in the fabric of the ribbon, and the theme of this photographic image is myself, so I myself have been immersed in this space to build a new relationship.
