My practice has been evolving continuously under the theme of language and identity, presenting the experience as a non-native and a minority in a foreign country. I search for the method to expose the incongruence of language through culture, linguistic characteristics and personal experience with increasing interest also on history. Taking Umber Eco’s concept on ‘interpretation and overinterpretation’, not all interpretation are valid as the text produces its model reader instead of us producing the meaning. We are just actors who tries to find the model reader through overinterpretation. To solve such problem, focusing on ‘the intention of the text’ would help as it somehow indicates the author’s cultural and linguistic background. Shared background help one to gain quicker understanding and connection to the author (or artist). I aim to investigate on the translation and mistranslation of language and push the limit of the moment where our thought is stated as excess interpretation.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
