When translated, my Chinese name (“言安”), Yan-An, means “speaking words of peace". As we are witnessing more conflict and turmoil, both here and abroad, I do wonder about my future and what my role will be in a world struggling to find peace. The artwork, entitled “Finding My Voice”, is a drawing using a single ballpoint pen with varying degrees of pressure on sketchbook paper. The first character of my name is boldly featured in the maze of blue ink. This piece is a representation of my journey to discover my true purpose in the hopes of living up to the name given to me by my grandmother.

Experimenting and evolving constantly! Having the freedom to express yourself. Analyzing and creating are two different processes, consider everything an experiment.
