Artist Statement
Aquarium is a non-linear narration. I try to reconstruct my inner journey from trips I’ve made between my China and San Francisco in a truthful way, but the overloaded feelings of estrangement created by the journey have transformed my memories into illusions of confinement. Due to this confinement, my journey story became a space-time resembles an aquarium. The narration of journey moves from real to imagined spaces, exploring the boundaries between autobiography and fiction.
