Old Garden 1

Lacquer practice goes through many stages: finding ideas, sketching on wood, painting, drying paintings in a closed room with high humidity. The artwork will appear after grinding under water and repeating the steps for around approximately 7-8 times until the work is completed.

How lacquer brings joy to me when I interact with the material is that the variation of each layer of color always creates a surprise that only the artist can fully feel.

I realized that after all, what humans want the most is living their life in peace. What I really want is to people slow down when they see my artwork - like my process when I’m making a final lacquer painting. Feel the whisper of the flower, the grass, the rustling of leaves, your connection to the universe is my final aim.
