I try to use different symbols and images as metaphors to express what I see and think in my life. These symbols are related to our subconscious mind, as if they guide us to make choices in the dark. If we could not find the right image, it would be absent from our own compendium of references; when we did, it may bring a sense of joyous recognition—like a door opening to some hidden delight. For me, symbols add more possibilities and creativity to life and art. When we decide to do something, symbols help us realize that there may be another kind of thinking and meaning hidden beneath the surface of others and ourselves.
