Purpose of the residency
Tokyo is an international and cultural city. Having lived in different countries such as China, Singapore and US, I have found conversations with people of varying backgrounds to be integral to my practice. While I was away from my home country, I have always yearned for an opportunity to return to Japan to work with various artists and audiences. Tokyo Wonder Site is a great place to meet people from different backgrounds both locally and internationally. Through my own activity, I hope to be able to enrich this place more from a culturally perspective. With the help of an "artistic lens", we might perceive differently the many aspects of our ordinary lives that we take for granted. In tandem with developing my studio practice, it is my goal as an artist to create more opportunities for more people to be familiar with contemporary art.
Plan during the residency
I am going to continue pursuing my life long project that began in 2008. I am planning to exhibit the process and progress of this project during my stay at Tokyo Wonder Site. In addition to that, I would like to develop my drawing practice, currently a relatively new media for me, in the hopes that it would stand out on its own in the near future. Lastly, I would like to organize participatory workshops and events together with other artists of varying backgrounds.
