《在模糊的失落与渺茫的希望之间》探索了一个高能量的世外桃源般的空间。作品让人感到不安，同时也是一种邀请。油画和素描的结合让作品产生模糊的负空间，营造出错位感。
“Between Ambiguous Loss and Tenuous Hope” explores an otherworldly space of highly charged energy. My work unnerves and invites. Mixing painting and drawing it often evokes ambiguous negative spaces to create a sense of dislocation.

在这些严肃紧张、有动感的作品中，鸟的形象不自觉地出现了，在明处或者被负空间稍微遮蔽。偌大的城市陷入不寻常的寂静，街上的噪音听不到了，鸟叫声成了每天的主角。人们失去地越来越多，而这个对自然世界的普通提示给人以希望，尽管希望是渺茫的。
What unconsciously emerged in these intense, kinetic works were glimpses of bird imagery, in light or slightly shaded negative space. In the unnatural silence of a great city without its usual street noise, the sounds of songbirds became a prominent daily occurrence. As losses escalated, this reminder of the natural world prevailing gave hope, however tenuous.
