Artist Statement

I become a cook while preparing breakfast in the morning. When a Facebook friend makes a political remark, I become a patriot worrying about the country. When I see an animal that has been killed on the road while driving, I become a veterinarian. When I see golden fields by the roadside, I reach out into the air with my hand and gently stroke them, becoming a farmer. When I encounter someone filled with anger, I become the one who absorbs that anger. My thoughts never remain in one place; more than a dozen times a day they drift without a center, carried by the wind from one direction to another.

In my work, I wanted to speak about these reveries that cannot be fixed or defined—dreamlike thoughts that disappear behind me and unfold ahead of me. Countless reveries accumulate across the surface of the work, layering themselves as repeated traces, overlaps, additions, hybridizations, distortions, and acts of deconstruction. In this way, they form a landscape whose shape cannot be fully determined, filled with dense layers.

The space within this landscape is not static. Rather, through the dismantling and reconfiguration of space over time, it becomes a new geometric abstraction in motion. Within and between the layers, these spaces collide and permeate one another, sometimes giving rise—unexpectedly—to yet another abstract landscape.

As Marcel Duchamp once said, “Art is a path that guides us toward regions where time and space do not dominate.” In that sense, I wonder if my work, too, is something that continues to flow—almost as if gently caressing its way—toward an unknown space-time of my own making.
