POLISHING 《打磨》
In Tibet, people believe the highest and most appealing mountain in their region is a symbol of Buddha and wellness. They pray, travelling alongside the mountain trails all the way from the bottom to the top. In the city, everyone is working toward their own Himalaya; a journey made with effort through prayer and polishing for a better life.

People speak different languages and have a different cultural background; often it is difficult to communicate and understand one cultural idea correctly through a foreign language or translation. Visual language is the universal language to engage with all different viewers, where it is powerful as any kinds of language regarding emotional connection or communication. In my works, I use my visual language sincerely to build emotional relationships, to deliver values and to tell a story. They offered instead of authority and brought together of personnel, offering impermanent and incomplete provisional space and time to balance (rather than directly challenge) dominant cultural forms and tools with something personal, shareable, intended and meant.
