WILLIAM WANG
ARTIST STATEMENT
My works base their foundation on exploring the relationship between one's depth of self and those peripheral physical layers of skin and motions that forever paradoxically yet logically comprise all of an individual's inwards. So, to express that which inspires me, I see my works as that gesture to unveil all those truths hidden and covered too long in the corner of our deepest selves where imprisoned aspects of one's psyche are seemingly lost and forgotten yet continue to grow like mold. And to convey that which attracts me, they are nevertheless an imagined mirror in an attempt to imagine a landscape without the confinement of subjectivity of life itself.
However, regardless of the trajectory I envision for my projects, my work's fundamental principle and goal lie in the purpose of connection. Although for others to entirely understand my works is not my highest aim, it is my goal for them to find comfort, if not relatability, in them. For the quest to express authenticity cannot be achieved if that pursuit originates not from a place of understanding.
