Work Details

This work does not seek to represent equilibrium itself, but rather to make visible the relations of forces through which equilibrium emerges.

The forms are arranged asymmetrically with respect to the central axis, and weight and density are also different. However, by interacting with each other through position, direction, and margins, a single balance is formed as a whole.

Tin used as a material is a metal that has a low melting point and goes back and forth between liquid and solid.

Melted tin flows under multiple effects such as gravity, surface tension, heat, and cooling, and a state where these forces are temporarily balanced is recorded by coagulation.

This work observes and records the moment matter is perceived as a relationship by antagonizing each other without counteracting each other and establishing a temporary equilibrium.

Material:

Molten tin on wood panel

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.
