我的创作是关于“失去”如何变成“礼物”。
我使用岩彩，因为它需要层层堆积，再通过刮刻让底层的颜色和纹理显影——这个过程本身，就是记忆工作的方式：覆盖、尘封、又不断浮现。
我在画布上做的事，是把消逝的事物重新转化为生长。从记忆中汲取能量很难逃避开一些悲伤，但我不是记录悲伤，而是在物质上留下痕迹，让那些离开的人、逝去的时间，在画面里获得另一种生命。 My work is about how "loss" transforms into a "gift."
I use mineral pigments because they demand layer upon layer of buildup, only to be scraped away so the colors and textures beneath can emerge. This process itself mirrors how memory works: covering, sealing away, then constantly resurfacing.
What I do on the canvas is turn what has faded into something that grows again. Drawing energy from memory is hard without brushing against some sorrow, but I am not documenting sadness. I am leaving traces in matter, allowing those who have left and the time that has passed to gain another life within the painting.
