my very first work of art, circa 2007
Unbox: The Unknown Element
Within the confines of this immersive showcase, each artist unveils a self-defined box housing a world of handmade treasures, poignant found objects, objects of unknown origins, and personal and technological artifacts. Each box serves as a portal into the artist’s imagination, each carrying its history and significance, repurposed and reimagined into symbols of the contemporary. “Unbox: The Unknown Element” invites viewers to unlock the mysteries and revelations concealed within these captivating containers, where every fold, every texture, and every object speaks volumes about the human experience and the limitless possibilities of artistic expression.

Through Tien's artistry, viewers embark on a journey of introspection, exploring the nuances of existence and the interconnectedness of the human experience.
