My Single-Bed Room exhibition at Window Gallery
Inspired by the compact apartment living style in Auckland CBD, ‘My Single-Bed Room’ is built on the idea that the room is not merely a physical structure. It also has its imaginary dimensions in our memories, secrets, intimacy, daydreams, and emotional connections. It encourages the audience to explore the essence of home, and a sense of belonging. Exhibition: 27 March - 01 May 2024

No. 29 Beijing North Road, Ürümqi, Xinijang, China
Memory has always been one of greatest resources of inspiration and places to visit for me. In this project, I have been studying and researching my own memory of my parents' apartment in Ürümqi, Xinjiang, China. Unlike the usual paintings of memories painted from the actual photographs, I am more interested in depicting my own psychological feelings and experience of the place.

The Sympathy of Curves Exhibition at Depot Artspace
The series is inspired by the Seigaiha motif. Originally used to depict the sea on ancient Chinese maps; it was then adopted by Japanese for use as patterns. Seigaiha is a Japanese word pronounced ‘Seikaiha’ (青海波); the word literally means big sea waves. As a traditional Japanese pattern, it appears on Japanese ceramic cookware, fabric and wallpaper and symbolises good fortune and happiness. Oliver has created his own patterns by inventing a system of rules. All the curves are free, not in the sense of departing, but finding each other, holding onto each other, being able to feel and move in relation to each other. The structures are created by the movements of these curves.

Flag-it! Exhibition at Depot Artspace
Why do we need a flag? According to research, flags have been used as a form of communication for more than 4,000 years, initially for military purposes and then evolved to represent political parties and countries. But is a national flag really able to represent its country’s culture, the people and the place? To me, a flag is a form of an abstraction, a code of encryption. This flag is generated by a self-made software populated with the English text of the Treaty of Waitangi (Feb, 1840). The colours are taken from the current New Zealand National flag as well as the proportion. The software goes through the text, replaces a verb with a red square, a noun with a white square, the rest of POS (parts of speech) with a blue square and throws everything else away.

Bridge Over Troubled Water
Reflecting on the power outages in Auckland City, New Zealand in the last few years, I took this photo on the tallest structure in Auckland, Sky Tower. It Looks right over the waterfront area and the harbour bridge, which connects Auckland CBD to North Shore.
