    I consider drawing a thinking/seeing tool. My drawings are exploration of the
    concept of transience. From the smallest particle to the entire universe, all is
    changing all the time. I find inspirations for this concept in Australian
    outback landscape as well as in the pre-modern Japanese visual arts and
    literature. Interpreting them in the context of contemporary drawing, I draw.
    Drawing takes me to the places where I cannot reach by words or logic alone
