part 1
In the midst of life
I focus on individuals standing at the center of life within everyday landscapes. While landscapes and individuals are interconnected, interpreting them requires subjectivity, which stems from me.
Through painting, I observe familiar strangers—'myself' and 'them.' These strangers include anyone who is not me: mothers, grandfathers, delivery workers, or people walking their dogs. In my works, these figures, expressed with understated textures, invite viewers to project their own experiences.
I capture fleeting moments, reflecting universal experiences to create personal interpretations. The fast-paced rhythm of urban life often numbs us, not from ignorance but from a lack of capacity to deeply engage with others.
Through soft colors and delicate textures, I use painting to observe others with compassion, inviting prolonged reflection on transient moments. By condensing the urban landscape into 'myself,' I uncover abstraction beyond reality.
Since time inevitably flows into the past, observing fleeting moments with affection is meaningful. Through painting, I give depth and narrative to strangers, intertwining their stories with mine.
