Project info

The Lack of Intimacy

My multidisciplinary practice involves playing with symbols that can often be reimagined and intertwined into iconographic images. As a progression from a personal or autobiographical perspective, I use the foregrounding significance of embodiment to identity, deeper into my situation while abroad.

I am interested in the human body - a superficial indicator - that simultaneously talks about identity, social status, and cultural situation. I usually focus on the relationship between personal identity and self-representation. My latest works extended towards new themes and solutions about both the subject matter and its presentation.

At this moment, I am interested in the topic of intimacy and isolation. How can we create our own space using our imagination only, especially when we can't escape? In my recent animation, I focus on the progress and practices of creating personal space by using my mindset only.
