My work started from self-exploration and expanded to the people around me and the relationship with them. When I look back on the road I have passed at the time of my passing, it seems that the relationship with the people I came and went like this drove me and gave me a direction for my work.
Isn't the most important thing in our life is our relationship with people? My work is a reflection on my own life and an observation that examines the layers of human life. Inside the screen, the paint spreads vertically and horizontally to form layers,
On top of that, grains form and create a new story. Layers of paint piled up as if everyone lives in a different harmony as if they are alike create a new harmony.
