3D Models of Self-Portrait
In 2015, "Life sees itself 15-01, "Life sees itself 15-02," "Life sees itself 15-03" have been developed with the two pastel drawings from my artist residency in Assisi, Italy during 2015 summer.
In 2016, more self-portraits have been created with this 3D model.
They are "Self-portrait;Life sees itself 16-01" and "Self-portrait;Life sees itself 16-02."
Two pastel drawings are “A Flower Offering to Santa Chiara in Assisi” and “A Flower Offering to San Francesco in Assisi.” They have been used for texture on my 3D bust. These two drawings can be found in the above "Works from 2013 - present."

2016
One of the 3D self-portraits, "Life sees itself 15-01," has been incorporated into "Self-portrait as Earth; Life sees itself 16-01." This work is my voice speaking that I am Earth and we are Earth. Only when I/we can extend myself/ourselves to Earth including all living beings and non-living elements on Earth, I/we can respect, cherish, protect and restore Earth, during this critical time of global warming and sustainability. Today's climate change and natural crisis have proclaimed that we are all interconnected.
On 11-2-2016, after a few months of contemplation on this work, I've decided to modify the title. The new title is "I am the earth; We are the earth; Life sees itself 16-01."

Works from late 1980s to 1990s
Drawings from 2017
Drawings from 2000 to 2016
Drawing from life challenges me to the state where my mind and body do nothing but seeing, breathing, and drawing. Drawing is an act as equally demanding as seeing. Drawing, it is still one of the most difficult challenges I have today.
Drawings from late 1980s to 1990s
Semi-abstration begins during this period.
Photography
I learn to see everyday. Photographing what I see and how I see the world around me is an immediate way to capture a transient moment, an effective way to communicate with others, and a way to keep a note of my daily journey to myself.
