The Distant Places
I try to have a conversation with viewer with this work.
First I collected elements of etchings from seventeenth-century and recombine them to make fake Middle Ages scenes.
Then I put an ordinary object from my daily life into this scene, enlarging its scale to make a kind of ridiculous and dramatic situation.
So you can see how meanings and values of these objects change in different time and space.

My work is based on the exploration of historical images, and takes form through the deconstructions of traditional art making processes. Through this deconstruction, I am looking back at the history and the tradition of cultural artefacts and trying to explore them with a contemporary perspective.Â
