I often see the charm in sparkling dust. Dust has always been the substance closest to our life. It’s nature
|
and everywhere. It joins cycle of human’s body with the breath… When it falls down,accumulating into a thick
|
and dirty form at the same time becoming so light which often being ignored. I also see how urban dirty form
|
at the same time becoming so light which often being ignored. I also see how urban development changed
|
the dust’s nature and lightness, all becomes complex, it’s synonym of desire, disease and desperation...
|
Through gathering dust, burnish and polish it repeatedly,the canvas showed a mirror effect, the question
|
I’d like to raise is exactly what you see through it ? At the beginning of my creation of this series, I tried
|
to use the simplest media, only dust and glue, and labor myself heavily to achieve the mirror effect that
|
I wish to show in the work. This is how dust eventually is fixed on the canvas, losing its lightness forever
|
but carrying an extra mission of reflecting what things truly are.
