Statement
In a world made of physical properties, we, possessing physical bodies, communicate with the world through material-based sensations. Flesh and the body are the essence of existence, the origin of every event, and the agent that leaves traces. For me, clay serves as a medium that bridges the world and the body. It is a tangible canvas through which I express the traces left by the acts of the body that precede phenomena and exist as evidence of being.
Light and darkness always coexist, and the emotions and outcomes of a single event are inevitably complex. When recording inevitable memories rooted in the body, the resulting images may appear thin and flat but are, in fact, layered with multifaceted complexity. As these layers accumulate, they are given a final identity, much like naming something, by overlaying the last memory upon them.
The visual outcomes I create are the products of paradoxical states that coexist, derived from personal experiences of events and memories. Love and war, for instance, can occur simultaneously. These works encapsulate the dualities of my lived experiences and the memories they leave behind.
