My painting ("Tracing" series of oil paintings on canvas) is about examining the environment from the perspective of Human Geography. Thus, my artistic practice seeks to achieve an understanding of the human world by studying people's relationship with nature, their feelings, and ideas about "Space" and "Place". From unknown to known with an environment is the process of transforming the concept of "Space" into "Place", which reflects the "sense of place" and "rootedness" in the landscape ("Rootedness versus sense of place", Tuan Yi-Fu), what my painting presents is the image of the human world behind this mechanism. By considering the ordinary spatial action of vision as a spatial representation and practice with rich socio-cultural properties, vision becomes part of the cultural process of space.
I refer to the method of cartography and I pay attention to the environmental experience of subjectivity. I resort to conventional categories (such as roads, architecture, suburbs, cities, etc.) rather than categories that have logically evolved from a dominant theme. Because maps are treated as socially structured forms of knowledge infused with various connotations, and cognitive maps are the process of knowing the environment through which people can perceive, encode, store, extract, and process information about the properties of their spatial environment.
