Work Details

Concept and Intention of the Artwork

This work is “Love or Poison?” It tries to make viewers reconsider their own internal conflicts and the multifaceted nature of their emotions through the question.

The white-brown base symbolizes innocence and a sense of stability, and expresses the serenity that lurks deep within the heart. In contrast to this, cool colors, while showing purity and hope, are also colors that sometimes make you feel a sense of coolness and distance.

Furthermore, the color red suggests a strong message representing passion or danger, and encourages viewers to interpret it from various angles.

Also, by drawing three-dimensionally, light and shadow, which are external factors, are created. It is an attempt to physically express the delicate balance of spirituality by controlling the projection of light.

My practice explores dynamic equilibrium by viewing all phenomena as a continuum rather than fixed opposites. At its core is the Three Visual Principles: Black & White, Color, and Ma, representing opposition, transition, and the space where differences coexist.

Using paint, ink, resin, metal, earth, wax, glass, and mineral pigments, I work with melting, oxidation, heat, and deposition. I observe how materials transform and interact over time, allowing their behavior to shape the work.

These processes give rise to Awai, a space where differences remain distinct while existing together. Within Awai, equilibrium appears as a temporary state in which no element fully dominates another. It is not static balance, but a dynamic condition sustained through change, tension, and fluctuation.

My works preserve these transient relationships as material fragments of Awai and dynamic equilibrium.
