Artist Statement
Animation has become an important medium of my art practice. The idea of using moving images for narratives and expression of feelings is what I’m drawn to. I enjoy drawing and painting with both traditional and digital formats, whereas animations have brought those still images to a new level, as time is added to them as a new dimension. How still images can generate meanings within a timeline, is what I eagerly pursue, study, and contemplate.
