During my 2025 residency at GlogauAIR Berlin, I researched the ancient Chinese oracle tool and book of wisdom I Ching, which emphasizes the law of eternal change and transformation. I also explored 山水 (shan shui) ink painting techniques and materials—in particular, 留白 liu bai, or “leaving white.” With this compositional method, negative space is intentionally used to represent an internal state or as a blank web for projecting the imagination—an emptiness that is not truly “empty.”
