Artist Statement
In this New Landscape series, Umi provides the viewers with a context in depth: communications between human beings and environment, records of individual growth under the development of the society and individual inner spiritual growth. It is an interaction of human activity and relationship with the physical environment that is happening nowadays. It is about the modernization of life, where it brings related changes to the lives and thoughts of the local community; it is the relations of the environment, social, cultural, economy and politics. Umi works are imagined hybrids of species, animals, nature, objects and machinery, linking the multitude of issues concerning the modern world we live in.
