In his view, visual information is the position of painting, and it is difficult to be logical and justified. He was looking for an "excuse" for his own painting, convincing himself and gaining the original motivation of painting, and finally returned to the decorative paintings and objects in memory. Some objects seem to be gradually metabolized by time, and their afterimages gain a virtual aura under the blessing of memory. These anachronistic figures and objects originate from my most naive aesthetic enlightenment and visual experience, and they are recreated in his paintings. He began to accept the sense of incongruity brought about by patchwork, and tried to build different picture structures. Positions may be metabolized by time like these objects; ideas may be dissolved like memories. But "excuse" doesn’t.
