“My works speak about the dichotomies of desire and denial, and the breakthroughs that emerge from contradictions.
The series Wandering Boundless and Free- A Visual Trajectory is based on the idea of transformation in the ancient Chinese philosophy Daoism. I explored the concept of impermanence in the relationship between humanity and nature, time and space. In Daoism, the mutual dependency of all things leads to the deconstruction of the binary opposites of subject and object, it thus conveys the elimination of hierarchies and the privileging of one position over another. Daoism propagates the collapse of the human-centric worldview.

Using light fabric, xuan paper, translucent mediums and Chinese ink painting and calligraphy techniques, I built up layers of luminous surfaces on the paintings that allude to the transient world. The paintings, together with an installation that involves video projections and alteration of the gallery’s physical space, I created a visual and physical continuum in which viewers can glide through and traverse. The work invites the viewers to experience the freedom of Dao.” (Sung, 2004)
