Artist statement:



Rising is the brilliance displayed by a kind of spiritual transformation, and it is also a strong fighting spirit to return to glory. The strength of the circle is upward, like a bird flapping its wings and flying high. It is also like a whirlwind rising from the ground, and the positive energy gathered soars high into the sky. With a strong vitality, it got rid of the fetters of reality and gravity in an instant, and with incomparably firm confidence, it faced a bright and beautiful future with unlimited hope.



My creation likes to interpret kinetic energy or dynamics from the aesthetic context of Futurism (1909-) and Constructivism (1917-). The speed and continuous movement displayed by the kinetic energy of nature and animals are often full of charming energy images. I pursue the beauty of dynamic energy itself that can be interpreted in an unassuming and elegant manner at the moment of defying gravity, flying in the air, and sliding.
