TEAK WOOD | 2017 | 11blocks. H250 - H800 cm - 20 tons

When working in Vietnam, every afternoon when the sun descents beside my workshop, I can feel and let me heart drift away into the many sounds of insects and the scent of the sky. Being immersed in such a space, I can highly concentrate on my creation. For me, as I carve in those wood planks, I am embarking on a journey to confront myself, where the only thing that remains in the world through my artwork, and I feel happy and satisfied when the artwork can reveal that.

My artwork this time is about “Man” – this is a constant theme in my works throughout the years. Having participated in many international sculpture camps, with hands-on feelings and opportunities to interact with different cultures, the relationship between Man and Man is a precious change to revisit one’s personal working journey. And, my creations are based on such trips, encouters and senses of the self. With such implications, I always look forward to confront the shape of my artworks and their evolvement and changes over time.
