Hou offers: “The inspiration for this series comes from Freudian psychoanalytic theory and the concept of the human personality being comprised of the ‘id’, the ‘ego’, and the ‘superego’. I paint with water because it leaves uncertain traces on the canvas, which I relate to the most fundamental and unconscious behavior of the id. My painting process involves expanding the traces of the water without considering aesthetic conventions, ultimately seeking balance throughout the painting. This is a force which drives me to the gate of ultimate freedom.”
