Original artwork description:

I am insomniac, in my work, my main concern is about myself and the thoughts. Therefore, my paintings are always focused on six main perceptions, which are  Self-Portrait,  Complexity of Brain,  Universe, The status of Stillness, Map  and  Dream.  For me, these topics' relationships are related to each other closely.
 
Currently, my art practice is trying to develop the idea of Complexity of Brain and I created an abstract place like Utopia which is called Brain Land. 

‘’What is the exact reason to make the numerous thoughts in my mind? And what exist in my brain? ‘’are the questions that I have exploring for many years.

I think it is really interesting and leading me to have the desire to dig out the possibilities of it. Thus, through this concept, I attempt to use psychological perspectives to explain it.

By doing that, I see myself as a doctor and patient in the same time, to heal myself through the monologue from the inner part. During this process, I imagine acting like a doctor to analyse and dissect my brain, and then observe it as a method, it seems like I am operating a surgery to (for) myself, the idea of surgery is also creating more space to think about the complexity.
