Modern Life
Digital Painting
2020
I painted “Modern Life” during quarantine. Thinking back to our ordinary lives before the COVID-19 pandemic, it is tempting to recover the shimmer (however slight) of the fleeting moments we have too often overlooked. One means for such is through photographs, which preserve the moments along with our emotions. In working from photographs, I had the choice to decide what memories to present and how. I value this sense of agency over my own memories and their interpretations.
In Love | Screen, I hope that the screens of my phone, my painting, and the exhibition will become one, and through the vivid -- albeit fragmented -- scene of relaxing joy in a college dorm, train us to love the moments in our lives.
现代生活
电子绘画
2020
我在隔离中创作了《现代生活》。回想新冠肺炎流行之前的日常生活，便自然而然地想找回曾经忽视的短暂瞬间中的刹那微光。照片是一种简单的方式，因为它保留着过去的景象和情感。通过照片的再创作，我拥有了决定呈现什么记忆以及如何呈现的选择。我珍视这种主导自身记忆和其解读的感受。
在展览“Love｜Screen” （屏幕中的爱）中，我希望我的手机屏幕、画板，以及展览屏幕能够合而为一，通过生动（尽管破碎）的大学宿舍中轻松愉悦的场景，教会我们去热爱生活中的每一个瞬间。
