My artworks are fundamentally about interactivity and revealing more eloquence that I see in all things. This eloquence is often expressed by reinterpreting facts or objects into a different form or dimension. Specifically, I am interested in human aesthetics and the theories formed by it. It is intriguing how feelings can sometimes work differently for different people. A man’s pain can be another man’s pleasure. For this reason, I have created ‘IFEELYOU’ as a mode of rejecting what human beings perceive of things and generate new feelings and experiences towards life. Nearly all my works have a constant balance between the importance of seriousness and the importance of humor. Ultimately, my works reflect upon the psychological cycle propelled by the metaphysics of the heart and the feelings it creates.

How do you feel when you are on the street and you hear someone talking, singing, whistling, chattering or even prating away? Do you feel fine, curious or simply annoyed? Do you feel that it’s rude when someone chats on cell phones while checking out at the grocery store or standing in line at the bank? It is known that when strangers are able to overhear your personal conversations, you have breached the unspoken rules of traditional social etiquette. But what if technology can change the perception of man’s feelings towards another?
‘IFEELYOU’ challenges the metaphysics of the heart by using technology to change the way people perceive of things. It reinterprets the sound projected out from a person, revealing it to other people and let them determine what feelings they should identify it with. Technology will be demonstrated in this project to change the way human beings behave.
