Artist Statement

Unbound by medium-specificity, my practice traverses painting, sculpture, sound, text, and spatial environments, treating reality itself as the primary material. The focus lies in the friction that occurs when individuals no longer align with the structures surrounding them. Rather than producing fixed objects meant for consumption, the work constructs spatial and psychological conditions that demand physical and mental navigation.

Over the past few years, I have been continuously observing the various layers of individuals and their environments, approaching and reflecting on these phenomena from multiple perspectives. The starting point of my work largely stems from an "unpredictable pressure"—the quiet, pervasive forms of control embedded within contemporary life. Operating through an anti-theatrical aesthetic, the work relies on tension, randomness, and this very unpredictability. By prioritizing inherently unstable states and an ephemeral beauty over dramatic spectacle, I aim to examine the spatial and psychological weight these systems generate.

Within these environments, language is deliberately fractured. Unfinished sentences, distorted audio, and unstable subtitles function atmospherically rather than didactically. At the core of this aesthetic is the concept that "emptiness is a verb." Silence is never a mere absence; it is saturated with distance and unexpressed information. Rather than an act of escape, this "emptiness" is an active refusal to be categorized. It is a way to maintain open-ended possibilities and resist the systems that constantly attempt to define us.

The physical boundaries of the studio expand into transitional spaces: hotel rooms, airports, digital networks, and the condition of mobility itself. Because works are rarely treated as finalized objects, they do not exist within a single, fixed reality. Instead, they unfold as multi-dimensional conditions—where each viewer, depending on their own perspective, encounters an entirely different dimension. It is a constructed threshold between perception, memory, and institutional frameworks, allowing the practice to function as a continuously evolving, unpredictable ecosystem rather than a static conclusion.
