What do you think should be the mission of an artist?<\/strong><\/p>\n

To express their intellectual curiosity. Just like Emily Dickinson<\/a> said, to reinterpret the obvious world in the way that enlightens it and enriches it.

If the world we present to the viewers can challenge them, provoke them, and even change their situation, so much the better. And if it is beautiful at the same time, that\u2019s icing on the cake. That\u2019s my own mandate: to make beautiful art that also is about something. I want to make the ordinary resonate for my viewers in a universal way.<\/p>\n
