French literary critic Gaston Bachelard gave his understanding of “happy space”. In his views, space is not a container or filler, but a dwelling place of human consciousness. I’m also impressed with the meaning of “house” in his mind. “Who will knock the door of the house? The open door, we step in, the closed door, like a den, the world pulsates outside our doors.” He told us in verse that the house provides an image of the past and a dream of the world. He mentioned that the more important than setting a date for recognizing our inner space is setting a place of our inner space. Following this direction, the discovery could be called “topophilia”. His goal is to determine the human value of the space he processes. He studied a series of images which may be considered as things in the houses – “drawers, chests, and wardrobes, what psychology lies behind their locks and keys! With his pen, the daily trivial space in our life seems to carry endless poetry. At the same time, the highly abstract images and poetry are also constructed by means of peculiar space, written in the style of the phenomenology of architecture and space. This work is a subtle interpretation of concrete or abstract spaces such as houses, corners, nets, shells, and microcosm. For drawers, chests, and wardrobes, it is a hidden, closed space, with unforgettable images of things inside. The past, present, and future are also condensed there. For nest, shells, and corners, the bird’s nest is a variation on the home, built from the inside, full of dreams and surprises, belief and happiness. The shelter of the shell is inseparable from its spiral shape. The corners with concentration are full of our forgotten and lonely memories. 

I will continue to explore the relationship between individuals and space, as well as people’s self-discovery inner space. In my works, I hope that viewers including me could attempt to make decentration of the space and look at problems in different ways or in different forms of space. I believe finding your place in space is a process of discovering and improving yourself. As an artist, I want to through my painting to make a conversation with people and space, at the same time to stimulate more thinking in my work. Trying to find a place in space is a process of discovering and improving yourself is the most important thing in my daily life.
