Artist Statement

Confrontation was from a strong emotional confrontation between my father and me. He had a very different way of thinking than me and growing up under him was very hard to keep my stance. He spills his emotion out to people and I keep them inside. When he passed, I thought I don’t have to battle with him anymore. It was wrong, I still have to fight him inside me. The feeling never goes away. This piece represent confrontation of my father and me.
