Presently, silkscreen painting, st<strong>and</strong>ard in <strong>textile</strong>s, is also becoming common place. By pursuing the precarious balance between two seemingly contradictory forces: the grounding of tradition <strong>and</strong> the necessity of innovation, I attempt in my work to express the limitless possibilities <strong>and</strong> power inherent in such an engagement. The natural <strong>and</strong> the artificial, the strong <strong>and</strong> the delicate, the adorable <strong>and</strong> the frightening, nationalism <strong>and</strong> globalism, tradition <strong>and</strong> innovation: the conflicting dynamic of these forces is the source that gives birth to human potential.
