Jouissance

In my portrayal of women’s bodies, I use personal metaphor to communicate my thoughts. The subjects that I handle in my painting always speak for my identity. Whether it is a flower coming out of my mouth, or fragile empty jars, I use them to reflect both my desires and the missing things in my life.
Searching through the depiction of action and figure, I also seek a way to express endless human desire. A human body is a container which holds the libido, physical and psychological desires and the trauma that is caused by failure to fulfill them. They are part of life, which makes up our memories and time, creating a void and gaps.

People’s habitual action to fill in the gaps has been a trigger to my own subject. Through creating paintings and drawings, I try to express my desire to communicate with others.
