I have been working with rice as an icon in my artistic practice since 2018. I am intrigued by the translucency and the elliptical shape of rice — the rice compositions project initiated from an idealistic imagination of rice lays on light table. Rice has a universal symbol. It is one of the major staple food in the world and dominantly in Asia. The significance of one rice grain is minimal, but in a mass, the quantity transcends the minimal presence and makes visual and tactile impacts possible. In sociological aspects, the sameness of rice grains symbolize the anonymity of human race.
