“When a particular object encounters another, it can hold different situations, meanings and experiences. As the different objects on my workbench can make different sounds and situations due to their natural forms rather than their original purpose, it is possible to have new experiences by transcending existing stereotypes."
" I use discarded objects such as plastic hoses, guitar, and other everyday objects. This is because, with their error or flaw, they have become a life-giving object, not a product. I wish to tell their stories through low-technology, along with the aforementioned methods."
"I use various types of senses to portray my work because I believe that synesthetic methods from sensory stimulations can allow the audience to virtually experience my thoughts that I experience with the objects. I think it is intriguing that such virtual experiences can arouse certain emotions or feelings in people’s minds."
"Most recently, I have moved on from working with individual objects to taking interest in certain spaces. Thus, in this new direction of work, I’m becoming more interested in the meeting between individual spaces and objects.”
