The relation of those events connected to and running through you tells the story of your life. Those events come in various features. Some are positive - happy, bright, and enlightening; and others rather negative - painful, dark, and heavy. We go through a countless number of events every day and night, big and small. Sometimes we don’t even recognize the exact meaning of certain events at the time. But later on they turn out to be important parts of the bigger picture, connecting to other things that happen in life. They accumulate, interrelate, pile on top of one another as life goes on. That’s the story of life. Living in the age of social media, we are more connected than ever before. Yet ironically, we’ve become more and more anonymous and isolated. It is never easy to tell your fragile naked life story to strangers. But I believe humans are capable of connecting and relating to one another beyond words - by our souls perhaps. Hoping to connect to your soul, I offer you my representation of anonymous life events. Many are made in glass because the material is just like us humans - it can be so strong and beautiful, yet it can easily break in pieces if hurt or mishandled. It can be open and transparent, or dark and opaque. It can be soothing to touch, but can hurt people if handled wrong. You will also find a few other materials. Metals represent density and indestructibility, whereas clay for warmth and calmness. I invite you to find your events and show us how they relate to each others. Shelves and the work space are provided. Share your story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59ffaa360100276a4ea41fc9/1537478207582-N2FMDLFR83UQ06F6NK38/impact+horizon+1.jpg Projects - Impact Horizon Series (2017) glass, bronze Polar opposites coexist. They collide. They interact. They validate. This series investigates the relationships between two opposing energies. I am intrigued by the omnipresence of dualities in life - opposite energies that exist in any given subject such as day and night, life and death, pain and pleasure. I feel the contrary nature of almost everything in life is paradoxically complementary, and that opposition is in fact an essential element of each other’s existence. Recognizing contrast is vital to understanding the true value of the other. The body of work focuses on the impacts that opposites have on each other. It could be a violent collision. It could be a subtle action leading to infinite ramifications. It could be a persistent pressure that is being embraced by the other ever so gently. There always is a moment when this exchange of energy takes place when opposing elements encounter and entwine. These moments highlight the differences of the two, yet also portray their integration, transformation, and acceptance.

Inclusive yet exclusive. Infinite, however finite. Sphere is a powerful metaphor of the mystery of life. The shape itself is an ultimate mystery of geometry. The center point and the distance from it are what defines the shape; however, the true core itself is formless and intangible. Its existence is undeniable nonetheless. Life is curiously full of irony and contradiction. Duality is the recurrent and multidimensional theme that I continue to encounter in everyday life. With eager observations, I have found the concept of sphere widely applicable - both physically and metaphysically - to any existing entity the world consists of: an atom, an eye, an individual person, a family, an event, a country, a social phenomena, a planet, a galaxy, a consciousness, and beyond.
