Artist Statement
“Like paths I would like to connect between my life and our lives…”
Focusing on humans who are becoming alienated in the rapidly changing modern society, I attempt to express the state of natural recurrence caused by psychological conditions and stress which arise as a result of alienation, the conflict of emotion, and the questions they have regarding that which they earnestly pursue.
I’m interested in life and the inner workings of humankind as well as the lifestyle sceneries that arise in those spaces. As a result, I tried to express the communication with the people around you as a human being and not a solitary being through the merging of images of animals and nature, presenting another new space within the work through the placement of windows, which are a personal image, and giraffes.
Through work on these pieces, I attempted to create an opportunity to examine the spaces in which we live and to perceive anew the scenery of our surroundings through that examination. I also wanted to connect the stories of the communication of life concerning ordinary people shown through uniform windows.
