Artist Statement

There’s birth, there’s death, and in between there’s maintenance talks about how humans can be repaired or even reprogrammed to become a better self; fixing and adjusting ourselves like a machine and because of that, we become less of ourselves and more adjusted to the Machines (system) around us.

Artist Statement

Japanese culture, Asian philosophy, fantasy, and manga techniques, combine to create Sweet Eyes. This series offers a glimpse into a different way of seeing the world — one steeped in tradition yet open to new ideas and ways of thinking.

This series is inspired by Sarisa’s life background as a transgender person who grew up in a multicultural environment. Her imagination, characters, and scenery comes from Asian philosophy, Japanese pop culture, LGBTQ community. It expresses who she wants and can not be in real life, and the character that represents herself.

To be Continued

Artwork titles

fig.1 | SPACE

fig.2 | TIME

fig.3 | LIFE

Artist Statement

To be Continued is a series that questions continuity. Space and time are the two components that build the sequence of life in the universe. In physics, there is a mathematical model that combines space and time into one continuity. Everything that is created is relative, will gradually change, and continue over and over again.

Tommy tries to break down space, time, and life into different parts, imagining that each of these components goes through its own process. Some come, some go. Some are lost, some are returned. One thing that is absolute is continuity itself.

SPACE, symbolized by the impossible room, which was inspired by M.C. Escher’s Relativity. TIME, represented by the Sun and Moon, 2 timepieces. LIFE, symbolized by evolution and metamorphosis.
