Diaspora derives from the word "scattered seeds" by the Ancient Greeks. My latest body of work has subconxcious references to the instable feelings one may experience as a diaspora and the daily anxieties of everyday life. In this new series the work expresses a density of mental as well as physical space in these contained worlds. Child-like in execution at times, the work can be seen through a lens of the artist's personal Chinese-Canadian experience but also engages in a sort of cultural navigation, both in terms of exploration of material as well as content which resists any one simplified interpretation."
