I am an artist, do not forget it. My interests in mathematical sciences and being bilingual have made me question the function of language. Even though recorded words or written texts do not change their physical appearances; their meanings always contain certain amount of ambiguity, uncertainty, and undecidability. Those fuzzy boundaries of words depends on each individual's experiences, as such each word has brought me images and concepts which are uniquely my own.
Zen Buddhism focuses on irrationality and illogicality to achieve integrity of existence and experience of reality. However, even though one can achieve enlightenment, there is no vocabulary to describe it. So, no one can tell if he or she really did it, but guess and belief...
I, a Pop Zen monk, stick to rationality and logic to the bone. In other word, I focus on humor, sarcasm, and irony, all of which reveal a huge gap between letter and spirit. Thus, we have been experiencing the limitation of human knowledge every day. Interestingly enough, this kind of dilemma (ambiguity, uncertainty, and undecidability) can be found in the history of modern physics and mathematics. Then, my work, asvisual analogy and punning, can be my own accelerator, in which I observe the effects of collision of different things, concepts, and images.
