The shape of a social person who has been cut off some limbs. This is also the shape of bricks, which is most suitable as raw materials to build some “houses”.

A perfect Utopian shape, beautiful and impractical. People can only keep fumbling close on this side but never seem to be able to reach there, because if they don‘t pay attention, it will magically turn completely to the other side.

At present, the class shape of my society – the few elites on the top – determine the fate of the majority of people who are trampled on by them.

I’m a synesthesia patient and can see reincarnations. I have many different perspectives. This is the world as I see it.

We ourselves are the aggregates of karma.

My art is like a flower that blooms on wounds, plucked by Buddha’s hand. I am interested in exploring the intersection of sexuality, feminism, culture, and Buddhism in my artistic works. My logic is influenced by numerous reincarnations in East Asian religious traditions. I believe East Asian society is in a pattern of feudal capitalism. As an East Asian woman, I feel molded into a scabbard-like shape. I use soil from the canal sides in the Netherlands, mixed with ancient Chinese mineral pigments and Tibetan thangka, to create my art. These pigments come from Tibet, Japan, and the northern regions of China, each with thousands of years of history. The authoritarian and patriarchal systems of East Asia have also been maintained for thousands of years. I use these ancient techniques, using the materials of patriarchy to create and defeat their knives. They use the womb to create male reproductive organs; I use male reproductive organs to create the womb. I am a traitor and an extension of them.
