Artist note

" Now, You in front of me "

​
 

When I was just starting to work as an Artist.

I had nothing left but a friend who was willing to spend his time at any time. Every night during that time of the year, without knowing what to do, I dragged a cart that had broken even the wheels along a dirt road without streetlights and collected abandoned woods to make something.

Although it was boring and painful to continue something without purpose. If I didn't do that, I endured the time to escape from oblivion by myself with daily labor because I felt like my existence would disappear without a trace in this world.

As the time of such patience approached for a year, I challenged Taiwan's residency, which I came across by chance with only one of the first works I wanted to express about my "anxiety of existence," and across the sea, PAIR readily told me that they willing to gave me their place.

And the era of Covid-19 that followed gave me four years to grow as an artist, who was immersed in vague expectations. In the meantime, I spent the given time for refined my own world through various art projects in various residences that gave me opportunities in Korea.

Now, I'm going to start a three-month period here where  remembered me who was nobody.

With the memory of escaping from that 'anxiety of oblivion', I am going to meet you that I never knew before and remember you in my way through my art.

And I hope that you will meet another you in the exhibition hall and that moment will be left as your new memory.

At the end,

The moment you and I met in this strange place,

And the minute you face that memory,

I hope it will be left as a warm memory to you

I will

      remember you.
