“As an artist deeply rooted in Chinese culture and heritage, I find myself drawn to the timeless art form of Chinese ink painting. Through my work, I seek to explore the profound themes of home and belonging that have shaped my identity and emotional landscape. In my artistic journey, I embrace the meditative process of Chinese ink painting, where each brushstroke becomes an expression of emotion and memory. I aim to evoke a shared sense of belonging with those who appreciate the beauty of Chinese ink painting. I find solace in the knowledge that viewers may resonate with the emotions embedded in my brushstrokes—feelings of longing and nostalgia. Chinese ink painting allows me to delve into the depths of my emotions, fostering a spiritual connection to the concept of home that extends beyond physical places. I hope to inspire others to embark on their own journey of belonging and to find solace in the brushstrokes that define our shared human experience. "Brushstrokes of Belonging" is an ode to the past, a celebration of the present, and a hopeful vision for a future that each individual seeks.”
