ARTIST STATEMENT

​

Competition has been an everlasting form of entertainment for mankind. Whether it is watching beasts and slaves fights in ancient Rome, or people today sitting at the mahjong table, the concept of ‘winning’ is extremely important to mankind. Therefore, humans have invented numerous games in attempts to define results for uncertainties, though the constant criteria for determining the ultimate result is money and power.
