Life is a series of scenes that lead to countless emotions and relationships.

I was curious about the meaning of living since I was young. Why do we have to live and why don't we die. What life is and what it means to live with people. I always had doubts about my life even though I had neither lived in a dark life nor lived superior to others. I wanted to talk about life and emotions, so I tried to find out my curiosity through pictures.

Inspired by pattern fabrics, I started working. As the check pattern intersects vertically and horizontally, different colors intersect, and looking closely at this textile technology, I thought it looked like the world we lived in. Countless strands create lines and faces, within which each strand is a very important factor. There are forms of visual repetitive patterns, but I also use patterns of behavior as a pattern. I would like to convey the meaning by emphasizing what I want to say through repetitive actions.

Each form of the painting reveals a different presence, as if different us are combining to form a world. I started to expose these lines as a woodwork because I wanted them to be accepted in a more three-dimensional sense than the place where the brush passed by in a plane. It was hoped that it would become an independent morphology by itself. If you become a three-dimensional person, you will have time to watch it from left to right, up and down, and the line itself has the meaning of capturing time, but it is also for the viewers to read the time.
