INTRODUCTION

The process through which 'purity' emerges and subsequently deteriorates, from the moment an image is generated until its completion, forms the central axis of my work. Purity originates from the instinctive and spontaneous gaze of childhood, but as time passes, it gradually fades amidst the compulsion to find the "correct answer" and an obsession with form and composition. This internal tension, oscillating between spontaneity and formalism, and instinct and convention, becomes the starting point of the work, and this paradoxical fluctuation is revealed on the image's surface.

​

My work progresses by layering 'intervened language' upon 'recorded reality'. The photograph begins as a documentary moment drawn from life, but upon it are added painterly drawings, minimal geometric shapes, digital objects, or undecipherable texts. This collision is not ornamentation intended to explain reality more precisely, but rather a device that shakes the very logic that makes reality "appear like reality." A key goal of the work is to capture the shifting sensibility of an era—where we consume the world through screens, translate emotions into code, and leave traces of existence as signals—to reveal the image not as a vessel of truth, but as a 'system for producing belief'.

​

Ultimately, it converges into one question: Does the sense we believe to be pure, the reality we believe to be true, and the language we believe to be meaningful truly 'occur spontaneously', or are they the result of learning and systems?

​

Towards this question, the work unfolds by colliding photography with drawing and digital residue, by inverting images, and by inserting undecipherable signs. By momentarily halting the flow of recognition that operates automatically and familiarly, the work seeks to open a new trajectory at that moment of pause—the point where the boundaries between purity and convention, reality and simulation, meaning and meaninglessness tremble—to question the illusion of the "correct answer in art" and to re-examine the conditions of existence.
