Calligraphic Gesture 2020
I wanted to make a video showing how important calligraphy has been to me, since early childhood, beginning when I was 7 years old. I learned the practices of Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism and meditation from my family and have wanted to bring the essences of these teachings to my art. In my later work, my intention has been to combine these traditions with a more free, gestural and spontaneous way of expression. And by doing so, I’ve explored and have understood more of “who I am.”
