Artist Statement
I am interested in hidden possibilities.
I believe that the powerful and great can fall
apart in an instant, and that the small and the weak are
capable of having extraordinary and almost threatening
power. I want to be aware of the fact that I can
be a victim, offender, or witness. My works and
exhibits naturally learn towards themes such as
“balance” and “distance”. I feel that my artistic
senses contain a “creative element,” which, instead of
being controlled or colored by some absolute power,
rejuvenates and provides balance to each locale and
space.
There is no denying, however, that this “creative
element” in my works may be seen as a “destructive
element”. In those circumstances, I believe that
dialogue is necessary. This act of initiating a
dialogue is important in establishing a proper distance
between myself and others. For me, creating and
presenting my works is a way of communicating with others,
and is part of the process of finding a meaning for my own
existence.
