My art is a form of time and space travel. It is a hybrid of computer 
art and traditional painting, reflective of my desire to transgress the 
boundaries of time and space. I harvest images from the internet, 
which I in turn modify and collage to create new amalgamated illusions. 
These new ghost images become new entities in cyberspace and my 
response to the anonymous people who uploaded original images in the 
internet. Some of these ghost images become corporeal while others 
remain in ethereal on the cyber space. I digitally print some of images 
on polyester or cotton canvas and paint with traditional paint, as if 
traveling back to the time, before the internet age. I see the 
process as a continuum and as a full circle of life: the ghost images 
derived from virtual space are given new tangible objects.

My work has grown from examining the social anxiety and contemplating 
the unresolved issues of life. It is inspired by ancient philosophy, 
mysticism, contemporary culture and technology. It evokes the 
harmonious coexistence of paradoxical elements in all forms of life. 
Narcotic substances, modern technology, Buddha or even tiny flowers 
in my artwork all address the same wish that every walk of life in 
different time and space yearns for. I diagram the wish in my work. 
Nevertheless, the harmony created through my art is just another 
virtual illusion; I intend to focus on the continuous search effort 
itself as the essential beauty of humanity. My artwork reflects my 
desire and attempts to reach throughout time and space: perfect, 
yet unattainable, happiness.
