罗彻斯特，我需要光
神说，要有光，就有了光。
---圣经《创世记》
生命中总有一些时候让你觉得昏暗无比，你拼命挣扎却无能为力。而一旦你停止反抗，这股消极的力量就会侵蚀你的自信与信仰。
罗彻斯特远比我想象中寒冷，离开了故乡的我在这里始终找不到归属感，语言和文化的障碍，让我始终找不到自己的位置，而对于这个城市的陌生也使我的创作也停滞不前。我感觉迷失在这里寒冷的空气中了。我开始被自我怀疑和逃避，失眠也越来越严重。我一直做着一个溺水的梦，我看不到岸，一次又一次被拖入水中。“我快支撑不住了，我需要光来摆脱梦魇”我对自己说。
创作一系列作品就源于自我治疗的初衷。一直以来，我都相信艺术的心理治疗性。创作的过程中通过表现内心的感受，让自己更好地了解自己。即使所表达的情绪是消极的，也能通过创作来化解它。这如同宗教的祷告一样，正是因为你相信它，才能被它所救赎。
Rochester, I Need Light
"And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."
--- GenesisVolume I,Bible,
There is always such a time when you feel desperately gloomy in your life, even though you fight it with every effort. When you stop, this passive strength will diminish your confidence and beliefs.
It is much colder in Rochester than I expected. Far away from home, I find it hard to fine my own place or a sense of belonging, due to language and cultural differences. My ignorance of this city also stifles artistic creation and I feel at a loss in its cold air. I suffer more and more from sleeplessness and I begin to doubt myself. Myimpulse is to escape. I keep dreaming the same dream of drowning, I see no shores and I’m dragged under the water again and again. I murmur to myself;“I canstand it no longer, I need light to set me free.”
Many series of works are motivatedby self-therapy. I believe that art can cure people psychologically. You know yourself better through the expression of inner feelings through creation. Even though they might be negative, creation can help to dissolve them. It is like a religious prayer: you believe and you feel redeemed.
