It communicate with me and it shows my attitude toward art.
Our language, adorned with the word 'art', is more powerful than others' languages. We must recognize the power that the word 'art' holds. Sometimes we, who indulge in sophistry, do not feel any shame.‘Irresponsible excretion’
I am cautious about expressing myself because I don't want to influence and change others, but people here express themselves without restraint.
I am afraid that my story will be distorted as much as I am cautious
There is a lot of tongue
The two phrases 'my art' and 'I create' plunge me into contemplation. My work quotes from the world, and I am not sure if my own story exists there
While painting, I became aware of the thoughts that preoccupied me as I lived. Subsequently, I installed pieces of my works related to these thoughts in a collapsed gallery. Now, my artwork doesn’t need to consider the boundary between my work and my identity. The meaning and social perception held by a gallery does not apply in this project. The boundary between myself and my work has collapsed, collapsed gallery.
'Membrane' pieces were torn, and then they were connected with pieces of 'Struggling Up'.
What is my story? Can I even dare to call my art 'mine'?
'Struggling Up, 2021' is a mass of desires filled with discontent about society, despite their choice to belong within it on their own accord.
Smashing the first sculpture I made Smashing 'Struggling Up, 2020', the first sculpture I made.
‘Membrance, 2020’ is for protection from the noise. It is intended to protect me from the noise of society.
This project was began from my obsession with the boundaries between myself and my work.
I believe there are no 'created' artworks in this world. We encounter and learn many things as we live. can we see the artist through their works In this process?
“Is my work sufficient to show who I am?” My work is comprised of numerous elements that I am not aware of. Through this project, I aim to understand these elements of my work.

I was skeptical about analyzing my own work because I thought it could impose unnecessary meanings on the work. However, through painting, I realized that if I approach my work sincerely, analyzing my work can help me become aware of aspects of myself that I had not realized before. I felt that my work could be more honest than me.
The thought that the intent of my work might not be fully conveyed made me uncomfortable, and this thought led me to obsess over the boundaries between myself and my work, as a kind of defense mechanism.
The most important thing in my life is 'honesty'. I need to be even more honest with myself.
My work is about communicating with myself before it is about communicating with others; that is how I grow. Each person comes from a different environment and has a different way of thinking. I don't need to, nor do I have the right or power, to impose my views on them. What they see is not something I can control.
'Ingredients of My Art' is simply made by deconstructing the materials I wanted to handle and my initial works 'Struggling Up, 2021' and 'Membrane, 2020'. I moved instinctively, and I plan to conclude by writing an essay analyzing 'Ingredients of My Art' created through this process. The essay is currently being written.
