The board game "go" is an important theme of my work. it is not only my favorite board game but its long history, and also the combination of Eastern - and Western culture is my motivation to make art. The contrasts (white and black stone; horizontal and vertical line on the board; open and closed pieces during the play eetc) of "Go" inspire me,the balance between the contrasts that I try to create a specific atmoshpere in my work, it reminds of quiet, concentration, and equilibruim etc. Thus the illusion of space plays a big role in my work. I choose the square as the image form, because the form of the grid on the Go - board and the Chinese character looks square. I use squares as writing Chinese calligraphy, and translate in my own image language in a visual way.
