Do you express 100 percent of your emotion? When most people meet others, they ask, “How are you?” as a matter of courtesy. Most answer the question superficially, partly due to the lack of words that can convey how they feel. Most people including myself do not express their emotions every hours and every minute. Why? Because sometimes it is difficult to find appropriate word to articulate their feelings and thoughts.

There are Hundreds of different languages, but some things just cannot be explained even by all those different languages, Visual Arts, I believe, can be a much more powerful means of human expression than verbal languages. An artwork can express an incredibly broad spectrum of feelings and thoughts. I believe artistic expression is limitless. My artworks are what best articulated my thoughts and emotions. This is why I make art.
