M.C. H. – The video work titled “孌luân”  focus on the exploration of the experience of awareness and the subtleties of the experience of growth. I see a unique tension between our differing identities, which l wish to leverage to lead the viewer to encounter nostalgia, memory, fear and calm from differing perceptions.

L. C. – What are you currently working on?

M.C. H. – I’m currently doing an artist residency in Poland for project research during the summer time, this is my first visit to Europe, I really enjoy the arts and culture here. I’m very impressed!

L. C. – What is art for you?

M.C. H. – I excavate and explore notions of human senses in my overarching conceptual framework, then ideas transform organically into discrete art works.
