I come from a background in filmmaking and commercial production in Hong Kong. However, my creative journey took a transformative turn when I discovered my passion for printmaking. Driven by this newfound love, I moved to London to pursue an MA in Printmaking at Middlesex University, from which I graduated several years ago.
 
Unlike many of my peers, I don't primarily see myself as an artist. Instead, I consider myself a printmaker, or more specifically, a craftsman dedicated to the meticulous creation of prints. My artistic philosophy is deeply influenced by Ozu Yasujiro, my favorite film director and arguably my favorite artist. Ozu once remarked in an interview, “I only know how to make tofu. I can make fried tofu, boiled tofu, stuffed tofu. Cutlets and other fancy stuff, that’s for other directors.” Ozu's dedication to perfecting his singular craft—making the best “tofu”—resonates with me profoundly. He might not have viewed himself as an artist but as a craftsman who achieved perfection through relentless practice and refinement of his craft.
 
In my work, I strive to embody the spirit of Ozu's craftsmanship. I see myself as a tofu maker in the realm of printmaking. By practicing my craft repeatedly and consistently, I aim to achieve a level of perfection and mastery in printmaking. This approach is not just about creating art but about honing a skill with dedication and precision, much like a master craftsman.
 
Through my prints, I hope to convey this deep commitment to craft and the beauty that lies in the simplicity and perfection of repeated practice.
