With a surreal overtone that delves into the mystery of state of mind, Box of Regret depicts a man’s journey through a landscape with disjointed languages and unsettled dreams. Borrowing symbolic elements from classical Chinese woodblock prints and mixing them with created imagery. Box of Regret is to be seen as a collage of hieroglyphic writing that combines the ancient and the new.
