• Artist Statement

  ”Beauty and Chaos” explores the juxtaposition between order and disorder. The skewer squares highlight the seemingly flawless structure of society. On the other hand, the wire roses and lavenders embodies the wild, unpredictable human nature. As the two subjects come together, it represents society slowly deteriorating due to the wild, human nature that grows stronger everyday. The mannequin showcases the human body; though humans are capable of the destruction of their own world, society still relies on human progress to function. It emphasizes duality; humans create their own world yet destroy it simultaneously. What is the price of human progress when it battles against itself? This work invites viewers to consider the tension between the beginning and ending of the world caught through this conflict.

• Creative Statement

  To me, creativity is about expressing myself: who I am and what I love. It is about representing myself is another shape, form, or through another lens. Creativity is the core of human nature; it gives me the drive to continue creating and finding a purpose in the world.
