Abstract
The artist's statement: I love visual art in part because I get to study myself, but also because I get to learn of others culture and history that are different from my own. I am very inspired by Japanese culture with deep human interactions and their self-honesty. I also like American cultures that are not my own like jazz's freedom, metal music's perfection and innovation, and hip hops individuality and community. I love to see differences in aesthetics of cultures worldwide, but also explore my own aesthetics of what is beautiful, funny, aggravating, or sad. This work has a pot taken from the background of a Jackie Chan movie blended with moonshine history. It has abstractions of emotions plus metaphors for my human relations and personal struggles. The field of animation seems to embody my favorite artistic ideas, and that is what I intend to do in the future.
