Ancient Chinese invented characters to record and convey messages. By contrast, present-day Chinese characters are often relegated to become the by-product of the convenience of communication. In view of the phenomenon that people have been arbitrarily changing the appearance of Chinese characters with the utilization of simplified Chinese characters and Internet buzzwords, my work "Progression" is to question whether the latest development of Chinese characters is a progression or a regression.

Executed in Oracle Bone Script, Seal Script and Clerical Script, this series examines the evolution of scripts by exploring into the essence of traditional calligraphy from the pictographic elements in the earlier scripts to the expressive touches of the brush in later scripts. With the awkward inclusion of the simplified and deconstructed Chinese characters, the work rethinks on the meanings and value of present-day Chinese characters.

古人發明文字,意在信息記錄和傳遞。

幾千年後的今天,文字淪為溝通的副產物。

作品名為《進步》,在時代的演化中,對於被簡化、給網絡流行語取代的文字,以及人們來說,這到底算進步還是退步?

作品以傳統書法(甲骨文、篆書、隸書)加上現代的圖像設計,表現文字的演變;同時亦夾以簡體字和被拆解的字元,藉以反思文字的現存價值。
