Abstract
In Chinese culture people are not encouraged to express their true feelings through outward appearance. I have discovered how to express inward feelings through Chinese calligraphy. I take ideas from calligraphy where forms and experience are absorbed and recorded through intense observation of nature. I used to be impotent in front of the things that I saw, so in the past I tried not to observe things. Now I rediscover concealed emotions and capture the essence of experience through the observation of objects from my childhood. This allows me to activate fragments of memory and to retrieve what was lost.
