Artist Statement

My works often discuss one's internal process of adaptation driven by survival instincts. For over two hundred thousand years, we as a human species have existed by constantly adapting ourselves in given environments, whether that is changes of habitable space or complying both written and unwritten rules of human society to be accepted by communities and social circles. This instinctive mechanism has been passed down, helping us to adapt in an ever evolving environment and lifestyles to this day. I am deeply intrigued by this mechanism and wanted to explore out how those mechanisms are applied to the current physical, and social environment that we are embracing today through visual diagrams or narrative scenes.
