【 摘 要 】

In the following text I describe the origin and the process of my thesis works. Phenomena is a body of work curated from hundreds of paintings made over the last nine months. Each painting is the result of chance, conscious decision-­‐making, fixed laws of natural phenomena (evaporation, surface tension, capillary action), and its surrounding environment. I introduce how I learned to see my surroundings and how it directly relates to my process of making phenomenological paintings. I explain how the works evolved to reflect a transformation from working in a highly controlled manner to accepting what I could not control. Paramount to this transformation is an exploration and awareness of my decision making process.
