Dear friends, I’ve picked up a pen to write a letter ... For me, writing a letter includes some elements of my past experience and my life’s story. Thoughts are carried far like the light of a lighthouse, different cultures reflect and blend with each other, and destiny continues to change like the patterns of a kaleidoscope, never holding the same shape for an instant. Uncertain matters like destiny and identity linger in my mind. One thing can have multiple meanings. What is painting? How can one create a painting? These questions never leave me. Using images of mirrors, light, reflection, and flowers, I reconstructed a kaleidoscope in my painting. Through the acts of printing and painting, or drawing and erasing, I sought to capture the moments of emergence or disappearance in art. Best, Ei
