The artist statement

When I work with the discarded books that I gathered,
I relish the moment in which the destruction and creation coexist.

The books are freed from their original function of transmitting knowledge,
And they go through a transformation to become a medium of new expression.

The transformed books are no longer the books they once were.
And they turn into lines and colours.

When these lines and colours meet to take a shape,
A painting that is unbound to a fixed form is discovered.

As time and events are accumulated to create a history,
My paintings are born out of such process.
