The subject of my work deals with identity and modes of existence that extend beyond the physical environment into virtual space.
The backgrounds in my work may be actual places, or they may be images taken from virtual spaces. Within them, elements of contemporary subculture such as animation, games, music, and fashion appear. These are not simply decorative depictions, but represent the ways in which we express identity today.

The virtual avatars that appear in my work are selves formed within changing environments. These subjects belong to reality while also being placed within the virtual world; they are both my actual self and, at the same time, anonymous others. Through these avatars, I aim to suggest that in the contemporary world, an individual’s identity is not a single entity located only in the physical environment, but can exist in multiple forms and in multiple places.

In terms of expression, I mainly use an airbrush in order to simultaneously create smooth, artificial surfaces like digital images and blurred, analogue textures like printed photographs. Recently, I have also come to consider the environment and material on which an image is placed as an important part of the work, and I have been attempting to work not only on canvas, but also on materials that were not originally intended for painting, such as cardboard and construction materials.
I hope that my works will remain as a kind of past and record for a future in which other modes of existence unfold, becoming traces that show how we experienced and existed today.

‘Fragments’ series is a prototype body of work that explores how fragmented images and materials come to form a single network of relations and exist in a state where they can no longer be viewed as separate. This series tests, in material form, the “network inseparability” through which contemporary analog and digital images, while scattered as fragments, are simultaneously bound together into one network.

In one work, a 3D-modeled image is translated into painting, structurally combined with a photograph printed onto canvas, and finished with a chain attached to the lower part. This piece traces the path by which a form generated in a virtual environment returns to a physical surface. Different points of origin (painting, photography, chain) are connected within a single plane, and the fragmented elements form a network structure that produces a shared narrative.
In another work, fragments of acrylic, suspended from chains like shards of broken glass, are hung above an aluminum plate that reflects them, with artificial stones placed on its surface to create a mobile-like structure.
Here, the fragments stage a scene in which the suspended pieces and their projected or reflected images on the ground continuously refer to one another
they are presented not as isolated objects but as elements in an interlinked field that reflects and connects itself as an inseparable network.
The book like work, created by inserting film into transparent acrylic plates and layering them, reveals at once the tangible materiality of the object and the transparency of its layers. It experiments with how images do not remain fixed in a single scene but move along the flow of turning and overlapping pages.

Together, these three works aim to visually articulate network inseparability,
in which analog and digital, virtual and real are bound into a single network through the connections between fragmented elements, and this web of relations persists in a state that cannot be dismantled.
