ARTWORK STATEMENT

The attempt to attain happiness in the contemporary world is like going after the light and chasing the wind.  Are we trying to catch something that’s not meant to be caught?

Transience is a series of 6 videos, inspired by the Western district at the time when the artist lived there, and also by the experiences of contemporaries she met in the neighbourhood.  The sound and images collected in Saiyingpun are juxtaposed to transform daily encounters into meditative experiences, as an attempt to revoke our connection with ourselves.
