The drawings of this 63 year old female artist uses spiritual energy to give form to imaginings of what she wishes to describe, as well as using her own deciphering powers to translate this ultimately into a type of mystical and mysterious symbolic picture. Within the exhibition space, she will build a drawing studio, and onsite draw the unfamiliar site of Chinatown which she has not been to (the artist will not visit Chinatown at any point of the exhibition). Everyday, she will continue on with her work, based upon the different "energies" of Chinatown that she receives from within the exhibition space.

Daoism is a deeply embedded world view of Chinese people. And the existent philosophical Daoist concepts that has been widely transplanted and disseminated throughout Chinese communities around the world have also been made into a symbol for discriminating between ethnic communities. Then, would the mysticism based upon Daoist philosophy have a type of palpable nature? Selecting this work is not a type of onsite experiment, but rather to find the discrepancies within the same philosophical outlook.
