Landscape No.1, ink and collage on yunlong paper, 90 x 80 cm, 2008 – 2011

My works are created according to the idea of growth, just like a gradually growing seed. I slowly add things to the painting, but I am merely a sower of seeds who allows my work to develop freely. When they grow for a long time, they become more complicated, and produce many different ideas, so it becomes a narrative language.
When I start to think about painting something, just then something [a magazine cutting or image] pops up and I will find an appropriate place for it in the painting. In this way, meaning is produced through these different combinations.
Mankind has a short history, thus the damage man can do to earth is limited. In the end, we will find out that the trees, stones and rivers are the most powerful. This is the reason why nature occupies such a large area in my works.
