"Memory and Distortion" and "Reality and Perception" and “Time”
My artworks are based on the relationship between memory and reality, and how distorted memories create a perception of the world. Memory creates the reality of the present and of the future. Memory is always distorted, so, each person lives in a different reality, a different world. How we perceive the world is affected by memory (which is distorted by one's perception of the world and forgetting.) Therefore, one's reality is formed with altered memory and an altered view of the world. The physical world (or reality) that every human lives in is the one same world, but the psychological world (or reality) varies from one person to another person. Basically, all people live together, but at the same time, each person is separated from each other. Each artwork is driven by my old memories–a distorted past, a distorted reality.
As an abstract artist, I use color and shape to create a vibrant visual field. The artworks are made with very old memories, not recent memories, childhood memories, and memories that are only vaguely remembered in form, which is not well remembered now. What would it eventually be if I reconstruct collapsed form/memory from its oblivion?
