Artist Statement

Perceiving the distance between others and me hurts and comforts me at the same time. I always make efforts to communicate, but my intended communication always ends up half-distorted and half-painted. I suffer from imperfect communication, but if I stopped contriving to communicate, it would mean giving up existing as a human being.

My works reflect my incessant attempts to go beyond myself in order to reach others.

Working mainly in film, video and new media and installations I often combined these mediums I use these various forms to investigate happenings in society transformed analog to digitalize. Furthermore, I try to find identity in this phenomenon for both my self and individuals.

Through "Cube Beyond Cube", I present my recent surrealistic installation, painting, and recomposed video piece for the exhibition. In Particular, I open to complete this exhibition with the audience's interaction. The video installation, "Who Am I? III: Sound and Fury", is projected to a TV monitor and asks the audience a question about the title piece entitled "Cube Beyond Cube" in which the audience visiting the gallery comprises another shape of the cube. I wish the audience to keep the memory of their experience in my installation.

Who Am I? III: Sound and Fury. / Video installation
"[Life] is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." (Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5)

Identity or self-awareness is sometimes amorphous in modern society. Images and sounds abound and are overflowing all around, and individual selves are drowning amidst them, failing to take form, failing to be given a name. The avatar in cyberspace in the twenty-first century is a reverberation of Shakespeare of 400 hundred years ago.
