As a human being, I have fetters. 
Bliss Perry criticized that “They love to dance in these fetters, and even when wearing the same fetters as another poet.” about the influence between poets. But I have another comprehension of “Dancing in fetters”. It could also be the optimistic attitude towards life.
People have various sorts of fetters, fetters of lust and passion, fetters of the limitation in knowledge, fetters of relationship, fetters of government, fetters of social environment, fetters of the times.. They could have thousands of complaints about the circumstances around. Nevertheless, they can also keep a positive attitude under the burdens and still be able to dance in my life philosophically. I suppose it will be the most elegant dance ever, reflecting the wisdom and talent of human.

Fetters(2018)

WHERE ARE YOU(2019)

"Oscillation occurs naturally, abruptly and resonately. 

I intend to demonstrate certain forms of Oscillations. It could be the train whistle declaring departure or the siren roaring past. It could be the ring tone that will never be answered, the memory that cannot be reproduced. Possibly, it could be the clash as it falls inward or the groan as it spreads widely.

In this piece, Oscillation is the vibration of individual instruments and groups of instruments; it is a big crescendo. It need not be embellished, as, when it comes, it is only Oscillation which exists."
