As a curator, I firmly believe in creating interaction experiences that stimulate dialogue and critical thinking, focusing on the exploration of social, cultural, and psychological issues. Through logical thinking training in mathematics in college and my enduring curiosity and long-term attention to global political, economic, cultural, and social issues, I have embarked on an analysis and research of the impacts and evolutions of destructive events on past and contemporary socio-cultural and human psychological conditions.
Artistic works reflect the socio-cultural context of each era and document how significant events impact human life. In contemporary society, advancements in technology, human migration, and medical progress have facilitated more immediate and pervasive direct and indirect influences. As a result, many traditional rituals and ways of life have disappeared, changed, or been replaced, leading to the evolution of modern social culture, thought, and issues. These issues include ecological and climate problems, racial and cultural integration and divides, and uneven social development. They guide the development of new social groups and lifestyles within the broader human culture.
