ARTIST STATEMENT
For me, my work is a memory and a record. Everything that can be perceived is a fact, but it is only a subjective event. Existence is uncertain, but even though my existence is un-certain, my work is right in front of me and I can confirm it. I feel that I can shape my own existence by reliving and "appreciating" my feelings, thoughts, and other things that can-not be visualized through artworks. In addition, sharing and discussing subjectivity with others through artworks can also be a way to reconfirm my existence. I find the significance of my work in knowing others through my existence, and in knowing myself through knowing others. At the same time that I love the passing days, I would like to scoop out from oblivion all of my senses, including emotions and smells, and the space in which they existed, and keep them together by incorporating moments into my work.
