中華民族最初の象形文字から.わたしがこの文字というものを理解しようとしたとき、この数千年、音であっても意味であっても、文字は無理やり連れ去られ束縛されているように感じる。

From the earliest hieroglyphs of ancient China, after I began to understand the written word, I felt that these characters have been held captive and constrained for thousands of years—whether by pronunciation or by meaning. They have been bound. My work is about liberating these characters, deconstructing them, and then reconstructing them, allowing them to transcend, not within articles or texts, but within my works, letting the characters achieve a form of sublimation.
