My work combines the traditional Chinese philosophy of the five elements—wood, fire, earth, metal, and water—with contemporary drawing practices. It reflects a rethinking and reconstruction of traditional ink and water-based art. While maintaining the opportunistic and irreversible nature of ink drawing, my work utilizes, but is not confined to, traditional drawing materials and media.
In this work, I use four elements—water, fire, earth, and wood—represented through materials like heated charcoal, ash, house paint, and boiling tea and coffee. The marks, burn traces, and colors created by these materials form a natural, imaginative visual language, revealing the interaction and dynamic forces between the elements. These are the results I envisioned when creating the piece.
