This piece is part of a series called 'Let Go.'

As I leaned into creating my own meaning for this series of works, I became more curious about the edges and the framed structure of these pieces. I always trimmed the board or panel, leaving clean, straight edges. By not trimming the edges in 'Explore,' I emphasized the objecthood of collage elements, allowing them to break the limit of the support, straddling the boundary between physical and illusory form.

More on the 'Let Go' Series:

Using a diverse array of collage materials, I enlist gravity's help to compose this series. After selecting my collage materials, I relinquish control and let them fall where they may—literally. In doing so, I suspend my thoughts and conditioned habits, resulting in outcomes more interesting than I could have imagined. Once the procedure is complete, I reclaim the power of assigning meaning, as we humans often do.

Much like life's journey, this series portrays a cycle of choice, chance, acceptance, and interpretation. I encourage viewers to spend time with the work, asking themselves: What could it be? What could it mean to me?
