Catalogue Note
“He can never be seen in a hurry in this effort – his images always strive to disclose a variety of secrets and ambiguities. He has not bound himself to describe a particular meaning or context, but rather offers his own creative thoughts and personal interpretations of traditional culture and art for critical appreciation.”
