Nowadays, there are so many things happening in the world, we have been through both negative and positive experiences in our lives. Being visual artist, my passionate belief in equality, males and females are just part of this universe. Because my inspiration is grounded in childhood memories of natural landscapes, where I felt free as a human in the outdoors, avoiding family pressures as being a girl at home. My exhibition aims not only display powerful visual statements, but to also bright dialogue between varied audience. I always want to support women, and I deeply believe that women can do something and make the world better place. I hope my voice can be heard many more people through my artwork. Nature is a universal language, an artist expresses visible and tangible messages of hope, help and inspiration from a experience in life. I like to go to nature, because it's a way to evoke to my childhood memory of nature. I sense western world was like a wild nature in my childhood, bring me alive and my thought without restrained traditional rules in my family. It's kind of metaphorical way of evolving my practice and finding who I am at present in this current world through art.
