SQUARE
What does it mean to breathe?
Continuing my path of exploration and challenge, I began to question the status of the painting as a solid, constant object. With the curved works, as the viewer’s position shifts, the relationship between the viewer and the work changes due to the three-dimensional nature of the structure. However, this still relied on the viewer’s independence.
My next question then became: How can I create something that truly exists on its own? How do I give my work life?
Thus, the Square series was born, where the paintings cast ever-changing shadows upon themselves. Just as nature and living beings change, responding to time, space, and what surrounds them, these paintings are ever changing, as independent as the viewer. In a room with sunlight, as the sun rises and sets, as time ever progresses, the shadows and composition continuously transform,
as the work breathes.
