Since 2015, I have been focusing on the study of printmaking and the exploration of black and white images for the past ten years. Printmaking is not only a means of expression, but also a tool for exploring the boundaries between reality and void, light and shadow. I use delicate printmaking techniques to challenge visual and psychological boundaries, exploring and expressing infinite emotions and stories through the minimalist color range of black and white. Although this approach seems restrictive, it actually opens up a wide creative world, allowing me to tell complex stories with simple colours, showing the exquisite details of life and deep emotions.
