Most of the art education I have been through, tried to force me copy others’ simbols of drawing, especially when I was really young. My example may be extreme, actually everyday we are going through different degrees of visual assimilation, such as advertisements. In a way they aslo builds the reality surrounding us, yet we are limited by the similar or popular types of visual simbol which should visually make the connection between "self" and the world. We read this world directly by images, if it 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 start, copied visual expression and the creation from self-cognition.
