Where are you currently based?
Holland, Michigan, US.

What led you to create your work, "Dimensions Variable”?
Often time, I create my work based off the projected space when it comes to installation, and it makes me envision how it would look like when the works are coming together as an exhibition. So, the sculpture, or installations are usually dimensions variable so that I can transform it as a way of site-specific, or dependent on the given space.

What is the relationship between color and geometry in your work, “Dimensions Variable”?
Color is such an important element of my work that I get inspired from references that I refer to old manuscripts, scientific illustration, archives, astronomic documents, and photographs. I found that I recently use a lot of neon based colors in order to stand abstract figures out better in print, sculpture, and painting. The geometry of structures are always a baseline for me to figure the composition of the plane, and it encourages me to traverse between 2D and 3D back and forth.

Do you have a certain approach to color selection?
Like I mentioned above, there is no such a formula for me to make decisions to use colors, but usually I get inspired from those references especially scientific illustrations recently. Particularly, I was considering for the work in the website that creates the relationship between light fixtures, and the reflections of color plexi glasses. It was a new experimentation that reflections from light sources, and mirrors caused the unexpected outcomes as I laid them out.

Could you take us through your creative process?
I have navigated the structural framework and bone/skeleton of infrastructure in between digital platforms and physical materials. By exploring the surface of spatiality such as raw material, mirror, digital print, and video installation, I have leveraged unconventional architectural imagery with mixed media. My work exposes the unseen and hidden spaces by capturing the raw and unfinished state of our present environment, which I define as ‘Invented landscape / In-between Space.’ I am seeking to uncover the unseen space, which is present, but never fully revealed. I capture the unfinished state and challenge the conventional understanding of space, which focuses on physical condition, history, and transformation. I aspire to explore real, mysterious, fictitious spaces not only to provoke my artistic imagination but to encourage broader, deeper critical thinking on visual perception above and below.
