Work Details
A mixed media work using tea leaves from an old tea tree. The ancient tea tree is a tea tree about 3,200 years old that grows naturally in Yunnan Province, China, and is called the “King of Tea Trees.” What I obtained when I visited the site in 2024 was incorporated as a material.
By visualizing material properties that include time accumulation and humidity as layers on a screen, it was a work that created an expression accompanied by tactile moisture.

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.
