By exploring the boundaries between the internal and external experiences, I see my painting as a place in which the invisible can be seen, the intangible can be touched, and the silence can be heard. It has a sensation that can be perceived in silent contemplation, moving to the realms of the “underworld,” which is a perspective more than a place, and reaching “the unseen” that exists beneath or between the layers of what is perceptible. In this sense, what is absent, rather than what is visible here right now, is important in my work. Because it is actually what is in there.
Absence is hidden presence.
Emptiness is an invisible fullness.
Visible is the echo of invisible.
Shadow suggests the hidden existence.
Things we can see in the darkness sometimes become invisible in the light.
