My work mainly deals with the transformation between dimensions. I usually use linear materials such as wire to show the transition between two and three dimensions. Taking the concept of "lines gathering to form faces, and faces gathering to form objects" as a reference point, my main goal is to simultaneously show the "limitations and constancy of reality" represented by the three-dimensional sculptures, and the "infinitely changing things in a state before they are realized" through the movement of countless lines and faces representing the two dimensions. With this purpose in mind, my works exude an atmosphere of transcendence, and the viewer is left with a sense of blurring between different dimensions in front of the work.
