居住於柬埔寨的部份族群也屬於南島語族成員之一。一次的旅行，我迷上了這裡。柬埔寨的居民們，大多是弱勢的，它們靠著觀光，賺點小費，勉強地維持生活。但他們依然表現出熱情和活力的樣子!
我不畫代表柬埔寨的吳哥窟，也不畫著名的女皇宮。我要畫他們的生活，真實的柬埔寨。
畫開心就唱歌跳舞的人群、畫有著兩棵樹就可以睡覺的人、畫小販、高腳屋、水上人家…我是臺灣人，是個觀光客，但我希望能畫出柬埔寨人眼中的柬埔寨，畫出這裡堅韌的生命力。
 
【Living in Cambodia】

Some tribes in Cambodia are also parts of the Austronesian family, and because of a trip there, I fell in love with the country. Most of Cambodian residents are exposed to hardship; they rely heavily on tourism to earn a living to barely sustain their life. Despite of the hardships, their enthusiasm and vitality still shines through. My painting does represent neither Angkor Wat nor Banteay Srei. I wanted to paint their lives; the real Cambodia. I paint happy crowds dancing and singing, people sleeping under the two trees, street vendors, stilt houses and boat dwellers. I am a Taiwanese as well as a tourist. But I hope that my depiction of Cambodia is the Cambodia to the locals full of life and enthusiasm.
