This series of works employs an abstract visual language deeply influenced by Eastern philosophy.
With a foundation of minimalist yet striking contrasts, the recurring black, white, and red create a stark and tense visual experience. These colors symbolize the duality of opposition and balance, evoking the concept of yin and yang harmony found in Eastern thought.
The suspended, stretched, and burned fabric pieces resemble traces of time, frozen within the compositions. The tearing and knotting of the fabric convey a sense of inner struggle and rebirth, echoing the Eastern philosophy of “breaking to rebuild.” These materials serve as metaphors for the body while also symbolizing vessels of emotion and memory. The charred fabrics and red “stains” further emphasize the tension between the fragility and resilience of life.
In terms of structure, the interplay between geometric shapes and freeform lines reflects the coexistence of order and chaos. The circular forms, often associated with wholeness and eternity in Eastern culture, are irregularly distributed, disrupting the idealized state of perfection and hinting at the impermanence and cycles of life. The red shapes and lines resemble the “blank spaces” and “brushstrokes” in Eastern calligraphy, imbuing the compositions with a sense of breathing room while leaving space for emotional interpretation.
This series functions as a kind of visual meditation, guiding viewers to experience the depth of Eastern philosophy through abstract forms. From the textures of the materials to the use of color, the artist creates a rhythmic and ritualistic abstract space, inviting contemplation of the relationships between scars, cycles, balance, and life. It is a modern interpretation of the Eastern spirit, as well as a portrayal of the regeneration and expression of emotions and the body through art.
