My body of work is inspired by my own situation. I am a deaf person, but I have a hearing aid; I can hear the sounds of the world. My work conveys not only the physical structure of the ear and soundwaves but also the experiences of deaf people. The sharp prism wave represents the strong barrier between deaf people and sound; the sharp angles represent my struggles with hearing; the ups and downs represent how sound always seems varied. My work invites audiences to feel the 'world' of the deaf through deeper observation of the details.

My artmaking practice has been influenced by the study and interpretation of the following artists: Zvi Hecker, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid.
