Art is not lim­ited to any par­tic­u­lar media. You can use many tech­niques to express an idea. I use pho­tog­ra­phy because I often have ideas that I think would be lost in the process of paint­ing. I began to like pho­tog­ra­phy when I was young and began cre­at­ing pho­tographs in March 2006. Many peo­ple told me not to do pho­tog­ra­phy. How­ever, I insisted on what I thought was right and tried my best to engage with this new media.
In a broad sense, all of my works demon­strate a kind of oppres­sion. If con­di­tions allow, par­ents plan a future that they think will be good for their chil­dren. If they are not wealthy enough, they hope their chil­dren will have a skill and then they force them to develop it. As chil­dren grow up, their char­ac­ter is dis­torted by the inap­pro­pri­ate pres­sure of their par­ents and their school. The appear­ances of my fig­ures drift between real peo­ple and dolls. While the image is aes­thetic, I also want to rein­force the strong sense of dis­tor­tion.
We were sim­ple and pure when we were young. There was no com­pe­ti­tion at that time and peo­ple earned the same amount of money and were friendly to each other. How­ever, this is not the case any­more. Rela­tion­ships are frozen behind count­less sky­scrap­ers. The sit­u­a­tion of the past is more ideal to me. It is a shame that the val­ues of the past are long gone and money is now influ­enc­ing every­one.
I stud­ied paint­ing for many years and I have a good sense of color and struc­ture. My girl­friend who stud­ied film has given me a lot of advice as well. In my work, I often inte­grate the tech­niques of paint­ing, film and pho­tog­ra­phy. I mod­i­fied the eyes of the girls so that I could get the facial pro­por­tions I want. At the same time, it sub­tly implies the infil­tra­tion of plas­tic surgery. Many beau­ti­ful things you see are not that real any­more. What lies beneath the beauty and mag­nif­i­cence is end­less pain that no one ever knows.
