Most of the art education I have been through has tried to force me copy others’ symbols within drawing, especially when I was very young. My example may be extreme, but everyday we are going through varying degrees of visual assimilation, such as advertisements. In a way, these symbols also construct the reality surrounding us, yet we are limited by this common symbology which is intended to make the connection between "self" and the world. We read this world directly by images. If these symbols narrows the possibilities of reading the world, does it also narrow our understanding about the world?
This work is a combination of past experience and new starts, copied visual expression, and the creation from self-cognition.
