In 2020, due to the worldwide pandemic, I returned to Taiwan. For the very first time I painted in the light and daily life of Taiwan. It was quite some time ago that I had a longer stay back home. The changes in the daily scenes and landscapes have given me a chance to contemplate on time, including those moments of loved ones, changes in the past and present, clear and blurred memories as well as material or non-material traces. Searching from these clues, I look into the connections between writing, language, and memory, trying to understand those moments that have become past.

2020, 因為疫情的緣故久違回台長居，第一次在台灣的光和日常裡作畫。久未長時間在家鄉停留，其中人物地景的轉換，使我有更多關於時間的感受，其中包含對親人的追憶、今昔的變與不變、清晰同時模糊的記憶、物質或者非物質的痕跡。我從這些線索出發，推敲書寫、語言、記憶之間的關聯，試著理解已成過去的那些時刻。
