Connecting
"Connecting" is a theme that is metaphorically represented through my work, and it references the various connections we have in our lives. In today's high-tech world, connecting with others is easier than ever. However, it is ironic that we also feel increasingly isolated, which unprecedentedly complicates our relationships.
We are infinitely bound to influence one another, whether directly or indirectly, consciously or unconsciously. Our everyday experiences are characterized by various types of "connecting," and my work reflects this through repeated multiple forms. Each multiple is diverse, individual, correlated, and limited. Viewers are invited to interact with my pieces through their reflections, touches, and traces, referencing natural attempts at "connecting."
By combining incomplete, partial fragments encountered daily, I aim to make vulnerable, negligible parts solid and significant, symbolizing our society where we cooperate, relate, and depend on one another despite each of us being unique. Making an effort to connect and give meaning to something meaningless in my work is an analogy for our lives.
