“Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts:
all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.”

Outer Darkness

200*150cm
Oil on canvas
2025

Where silence wove the hour,
and time bent inward—
a fold in the day,
where names dissolved.

There was no farewell,
only the unmaking
of what might have bloomed.
A stillness too vast for regret,
too final for tears.

One shadow blurred its edge.
Justice—not thunder,
but breath held in suspension—
impartial, measured,
a scripture scrawled in void.

Thus it was:
light retreating soundlessly
darkness not as night,
but as recognition.

Whisper

2024
Oil on canvas
60*90cm

My dog frequently appears in my paintings, serving as my guide out of the depths of recurring depression, a companion I consider my "key." I visualize my depression as a black version of him lurking in my mental landscape. Occasionally, his mischief in my psyche mirrors how he disrupts the real world, like when he destroys a new toy to catch my attention. I engage with him gently, calming rather than confronting him. This approach has allowed me to regain control over my mental space and accept depression as a part of me, transforming it from a perpetual destroyer into an integrated aspect of my existence.

So What If I Am an Artist and I Still Have to Get to Work at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday in Shoes that Do Not Fit Me

In my art, I explore the process of self-reflection and acceptance, uncovering the deep truths hidden within ourselves. The work focuses on the metaphorical "mirror" and shows the complex ways we express feelings like anxiety and sadness. It considers how people look at their reflections, dealing with the challenge of being honest about illness and deep trauma. This artistic effort tackles deep themes, encouraging viewers to think about the complex nature of human experiences.
In my work "So What If I Am an Artist and I Still Have to Get to Work at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday in Shoes that Do Not Fit Me," I delve deeper into the everyday struggles artists face in our daily lives. This work challenges the polished stories that often disconnect art from common experiences and emphasizes the original, often overlooked meaning of being "radical." By depicting the simple yet profound act of enduring discomfort, represented by wearing ill-fitting shoes, the artwork critiques societal expectations and the personal compromises that define our lives.
Through this piece, I encourage viewers to reconsider the essence of radical actions. Is radicalism only about loud, visible defiance, or does it also encompass the silent endurance of life's hardships in pursuit of personal and artistic integrity? This dialogue invites a reevaluation of our interactions with life's continuous, albeit fleeting, struggles and their profound impact on our understanding of existence and identity.
