Biography
Lately, I saw this sentence on the road. “If you make a concession, this road becomes a comfortable road, and if you compete, this road becomes a death road” Sometimes the truth is light like a feather. I am always interested in superficial things and all my art works come from that superficial things. My art works begins with reality that is repetitively boring and does not allow us to escape.

I feel more comfortable moving my body than talking or thinking. So far, I have worked in variety of work places. Delivery service, Cooking room, Construction site, Distribution warehouse, Courier loading and unloading; in the workplace landscape, someone was always under the cool shade, and someone could not always escape the sun. Of course, I always belonged to the latter.

Many people say this is the era of high technology. We open new doors everyday with new expectations. We have the most advanced services and technologies that are closely connected. However, there is always someone’s boring and hard work behind it. Their work is hidden behind the high tech glare.

The workplaces are definitely next to us, but they are invisible to us. I want to continue working on this. When two mirrors face each other, infinitely dense spaces are created that we could not see. I will keep looking for those spaces.
