These subjects were completed during the later half of 2015. I was obsessed with the concept of amorphous abstractions by its ability to transport viewers to a version of reality that deviates from the real life. While others celebrated the final art works, executed through highly precise processes, featuring scenes of natural idylls or motifs of Surrealism presented in their imagination, I chose to embody my pieces of mind by casually daubing on the papers without sketches. That is of strong difficulty because there were no references exist to help me organize my thoughts. I got to speak for myself in a visual idiom of my own, which in a way created mystery or even uncanniness and might be impervious to someone else.

-   Everyday, many people pass by our side. But few of them leave a clear impression.
 
"Burgeoning". Acrylic on rough paper.
-   The paper from Nepal can absorb large amounts of water and has a bumpy surface, which is perfect for creating a background with various patterns.  I added a thin layer of white to the color I had painted at first to show serenity. The deep purple brushes on the sprout represent the throbbing veins, which depict the vitality of life.
"Chaos". Woodcut print.
"Cow". Woodcut print.
