Artist Statement
|
|
|
I was born
during the Second World War in what is now North Korea,
near the
border of the former Soviet Union. Immediately
following the end of the war, I
moved to Hiroshima, where I spent
my childhood amidst the devastation of the A-bomb.
As a child, I always lived with a sense of
indescrible danger and uncertainty. I
believe that these feelings permeated my body and awakened
my desire to
create. In my creative process, the
reality of the moment or the fact of being alive and
present emerges from my
psyche and transforms into shapes, colors, inspirations.
Our survival
depends on production, which
inevitably brings about destruction. The
consequence is that nature, which is central to our
existence, is becoming
drastically unbalanced. We must pay attention
once more to life itself: interconnected, vibrant, and
mysterious life. My mission is to leave behind the
beauty of
life in my art. |
