About Alibi

Alibi refers to the absence of an act, and the Alibi series records the unnoticed gestures that slip through the sameness of everyday life. By refusing the tendency to overlook present sacrifices or ignore one’s own traces—including mistakes—the work chooses instead to reveal the marks left on soft clay rather than erase them. It is an attempt to acknowledge and respect every moment of the present equally.

The Alibi series unfolds in three parts: the first addresses childhood, the second the dismantling of a home, and the third the theme of love. When shaping any form, there is always a sequence of actions, and inevitably, fingerprints and marks remain. By repeatedly filling and erasing these impressions with pigment, I create surfaces that expose the gaps and seams left behind.

What I aim to express through these traces is that passing gestures do not disappear—they remain embedded in the present. The work is ultimately about immersion in the current moment, grounded in the belief that to live in the present is itself a way of caring for the space and time given to us.
