Statement

My work explores unstable states in which formation, dissolution, and regeneration coexist simultaneously. Inspired by underwater ecosystems and organic structures, I seek to construct a visual field where forms continuously emerge, erode, and transform.

Coral exists in a condition where growth and erosion occur simultaneously. It dissolves through damage while continuing to regenerate, fragment, and reform into new structures. I see this not simply as an image of nature, but as a structural condition of existence itself. I am interested in moments where beauty and collapse, creation and disintegration, coexist without separation. Even in states that appear to have vanished completely, I am drawn to the lingering possibility of renewal and re-formation.

My process is rooted in material accumulation and transformation. I build surfaces through layered pigments and textured materials that are repeatedly applied, dissolved, eroded, and reworked. Forms emerge through the tension between control and chance, while images surface, disappear, collide, and reconnect within stratified and weathered layers.

Through this process, the surface evolves less as a fixed image and more as a living organism in flux. Traces, memory, movement, and temporal layers remain embedded within the work, while materials themselves become active participants in the formation of meaning rather than passive tools of representation. Wood, paper fibers, absorbent surfaces, and layered pigments absorb, soften, deteriorate, and transform over time, carrying their own temporal presence. Within these material transitions, I explore vulnerability, impermanence, and ecological tension.

Layers accumulate, fracture, and reform without ever settling into a stable condition. Different states remain unresolved, existing instead as surfaces of coexistence and tension. This instability reflects not only ecological systems, but also the shifting conditions of contemporary life. We continuously change through environments, relationships, emotions, and memory. Formation and disappearance, growth and collapse, do not exist as opposites, but as intertwined conditions within the same ongoing process.

I do not view dissolution as an ending. Rather, I see it as an active force that generates further transformation and new possibilities of formation. My work seeks to reveal forms of existence that persist through instability — fragile yet enduring, continuously shifting rather than fixed or complete.
