Artist Statement

As a multi-media artist, I am committed to creating work that expresses my artistic perceptions of the world through the practice of photography. photography for me is not only recording interesting moments in my life but also a strong way to help me express my thoughts. I am concerned about probing into social problems and trying to express them through personal experiences. Photography could help me visually structure the combination of the social phenomena I observed and my own physical and mental feelings.

 

The theme of my work is about the bond between mother and daughter. I continued my feelings and thoughts about verbal violence, and combined with my years of experience studying abroad, I recalled my mother's harsh teachings and the trauma that she occasionally inflicted on me verbally during my childhood. From this, I began to explore the emotional memories between my mother and me during my growing up process through research and creation. My Mother, My Lover is not only a visual expression of my personal experience, but also a reflection on verbal violence, mother-daughter relationship and self-growth. Through installation and photography, I visualise my mother's harsh words and traumatic feelings towards me in my childhood. Through three sets of images, I present the trajectory of my relationship with my mother.

 

I am committed to finding and making use of small, everyday objects around me to create simple installations and photographs, with the intention that the viewers will feel the relevance of the artworks to themselves through the objects and images, and that they will be inspired to feel a sense of spiritual empathy. Through this series of works, I hope to provoke the viewers to reconcile and think about their own emotions, intimate relationships and inner selves.
