Memories of Qilin is inspired by traditional East Asian art. It channels the sense of movement and fluidity found in classical Chinese brushwork, while drawing from the colours, patterns, and forms of ukiyo-e woodblock prints.

The series explores elements of folklore, evoking the mythological imagery of dragons, phoenixes, flowers, and mountains. The title references a fabled chimerical beast found throughout East Asian mythology (while qilin is its Chinese name, it is also known as girin in Korea and kirin in Japan) that represents prosperity and luck.

Viewers are invited to interpret elusive forms that verge on representation. As with the stories passed down through generations, each piece is imagined, organic, and ever-in-flux.
