Bloom In The Wild
19 Feb – 12 Mar 2022
Bloom in the Wild celebrates the attitude of not being constrained, releasing oneself from the shackles of rules and finally freeing and blooming in the nature. The exhibition also showcases a conversation between individuals and the outside world, transcending time and space while it reaches an ultimate state of mind.

The image of Huahua is another representation of her. She has no nose, mouth or ears. She sees the world solely with her eyes and perceive it with her hair. This is her unique way of talking to the world, a state beyond reality, time and space.
Hua has countless incarnations, shuttling back and forth between various parallel universes. She talks with the deep ocean, space, and nature, communicating with each other and finally comes free, creating her own unique aesthetic world, a flower-like world.

Eros In The Pandemic Nights
During the harsh lockdown in Melbourne, every night I watched numerous operas via online streaming service. Mostly they were melodramas about love, desire, betrayal, revenge, death, and so forth. Interestingly, watching them helped me not only to get out of the strong sense of isolation, but also to have opportunities to think deeply about ‘the self’ (myself) and ‘the other’ (non-self), and the relationship between them.
In the daytime hours, I worked on a series of paintings which became about Eros and love as an active principle for the artist and even to philosophers when creating work. Without Eros artwork can be dry and hollow. While listening to Opera I saw how much it contained about human nature and how much of human nature is based on instinct and a search for love, sometimes in other people, in objects of mystery, or in the act of creation itself. I imagined a perfect erotic, noble and flawless love manifested in different forms. The object of love is the eternal Other I can never reach.
