Work Details

A white dream solved from time to time

Inside a box that used to mark time, a palace called memory is now being built.

Inside, beings freed from mechanical time float freely like white dreams.

It is a building created by memory, and at the same time, it is also a place that transcends memory and creates a new story.

There, past and future blend together, and everything that exists shines as pure white light.

When the light is turned on in the dark, this small palace opens the door to a new story.

The pure white palace stands quietly.

When the light is turned on, white life begins to breathe into the tranquil space.

Entities freed from gravity float freely in a building made of blank books, and the delicate labyrinth woven by the branches and leaves of haze grass spells out a new story called memory.

It is an eternal present that transcends time, and a place where our inner light awakens.

Production Methods and Tools

Use a wooden box that is the outer shell of an old watch from which the gears were taken out.

The book is blank sheet by sheet, the easel is made of wood, and the picture frames are carved out in different shapes one by one.

Pianos are modeled using only paper, brass, and wood.

Whales, deer, and birds are sculptures carved out of sculptural clay.

Use haze grass and natural branches.

Using only familiar materials, such as wooden boxes, wood, paper, brass, branches, etc., we create a world that is not familiar to us.
