Synaesthesia, as well as cultural heritage in synaesthesia mindsets, plays an important role in my art and research.

Synaesthesia, as well as cultural heritage in synaesthesia mindsets, plays an important role in my art and research. For me, colour, sound, touch, even smell and taste can trigger all kinds of synesthesia experiences. A synaesthesia fishbone diagram is my tool to map my synaesthesia experiences. These fragment experiences are integrated organically to become an abstract concept which leads to my art creation. My work is a synaesthetic experience in ‘a real environment’, which I call a musical-space-synaesthesia hyperstructure. It is like hiking up a mountain, involving all my senses.
