Whether visualizing sound or abstract concepts, I have always tried to bring difficult subject matter to light in my work. Materializing the ephemeral and the invisible represents a fascinating way of bridging the gap between human being’s conscious and unconscious ways of understanding and the intangible aspects of the sensual world.

I have always been intrigued by the differences as well as the similarities between seeing and hearing. Visual data are arranged spatially while audio data are arranged temporally. Pleasurable experiences in either domain depend heavily on the relationships between individual events, whether they are the individual notes of a symphony or the individual dots of light of an image. As a synesthetic, I can see certain music while I listen to it. Similarly, I can hear certain imagery while I look at them. I hope I can translate what the viewer can hear, and what my imagery sounds like.

In the imagery, patterns of color and form are developed by acoustic wave of music. By my project, I attempt to achieve a continuum of action and awareness – an invisible sensory link that connects music and visual art.
