About the direction my art work takes

Thank you for visiting my humble gallery.

Though I've lingered in futile pursuits for some time, I've returned from Australia and set up my studio in Mungyeong, Korea. Spending my days immersed in music, working away, and enjoying walks that lead to many moments of inspiration, I find myself content.

As much as I hope my work resonates like music, I am well aware that reaching the level of heart-stirring creations is a daunting task, and perhaps even impossible.

Ah! Allow me to lay down a principle or two – you might be curious about the direction my work takes. I am inflating a sturdy sculptural structure unrelated to the subject, not with intensity but by putting my heart into a lump of tranquility's dough and letting it expand. Furthermore, I am dedicated to preserving the true essence of my creations, ensuring they aren't relegated to mere illustrations within the pages of philosophical treatises.

The resonance that only emotional art piece can bring forth, in other words, the value of emotion, is both the beginning and the end of why I engage in the art. If philosophy resides in the mind and art in the heart, then my work fully embodies me, leaving no need for a separate presentation of philosophy. To harness the power of resonance, one must forge not a mental tool but rather a drum within the heart, that's the thesis.

Mechanization, monochromatism, and constancy of style for commodification of my work hold no appeal for me. My sole pursuit is the exploration of novel forms of expression, or rather, the natural physiological process that it is for me. Following this path without any doubt, I remain faithful to the authenticity it brings. Thank you for reading
