Artist Statement 

"저는 예술을 보편적인 언어이자, 다른 방법으로는 전달할 수 없는 것을 시각적으로 표현하고 해석하는 강력한 매체로 생각합니다. 제 작품은 만화경과 같아서 인간의 행동과 자연의 다양한 유기적 측면을 볼 수 있게 해줍니다. 제 작업은 유럽인으로서 부산(한국)과 하와이 호놀룰루에서 경험하는 서로 얽힌 문화적 층위에 초점을 맞춥니다. 아시아, 폴리네시아, 유럽의 역사에서 영감을 받아, 이러한 요소들을 다양한 시각적 층으로 결합함으로써 인간 존재의 보편성을 가시화하고자 합니다."

"Perseverance"는 과밀하고 아스팔트로 뒤덮인 거대 도시에서 콘크리트와 돌을 뚫고 다시 자신의 존재를 되찾은 최초의 식물에서 영감을 받았습니다.

자연의 힘은 자신의 영역을 되찾습니다. 

“I see art as a universal language, a powerful medium to express and translate visually what cannot be conveyed otherwise.  I think of my artwork as a kaleidoscope, which enables me to see human behavior and nature in their many organic facets.  My work tends to focus on the interwoven cultural layers that I experience as a European in Busan, South Korea and Honolulu, Hawai‘i. Inspired by Asian, Polynesian and European histories, and by combining these elements in various visual layers my artwork tries to make visible the universality of human existence.”

“Perseverance” is inspired by the first plants breaking through concrete and stone to reclaim their existence in the overcrowded and asphalted mega cities.

The power of nature recapturing its territory
