ARTIST’S STATEMENT
I believe that everything continuously changes, either being generated or destroyed. Presence is just a state of being and the reality of an object has ambiguity in this shifting. In my work, I intend to reflect upon the astatic character of existence in the flow of time as well as the opposite sides of nature – the negative and positive, the construction and destruction, the presence and absence, and life and death.
In my recent work, the micro-collage or paper mosaic, I attempt to capture the tremor of unstable presence. To accomplish this work, I take pictures of parts of the body or face, change the color and saturation of those images by Photoshop and print them out on paper. Then, I tear the pictures and paste them piece-by-piece. Through this process of breaking down photo images and recomposing them, figures have thousands of tiny particles and textures that make the images look blurry and tremulous.
