ABOUT.
怪誕、細膩、矛盾是我形容自己作品的三個詞。
荒誕離奇的外在可能不被大眾理解，但藏在陰翳的細膩語言是不能被忽視的特質，這樣的矛盾是我想透過創作慢慢挖掘、告訴大家這些事物值得停下腳步細細品味。
Grotesque, delicate, and contradictory — these are the three words I use to describe my work.
The peculiar appearance may not be easily accepted by the public, yet the delicate language within is an inevitable and essential feature. This is the contradiction I wish to express through my work, inviting the observer to experience it gently and patiently.
