All modern people living in the same age want to be happy. In a modern urbanized society, our happiness has become a very complex equation. My happiness conflicts with the happiness of others, and individual happiness conflicts with the happiness of society. Where is our heterotopia? Artist Lee Jin-gu invokes relationships by shaping or distorting animals. He personifies animals that project the artist's perspective and conducts deep discourse on human society. He began with his wrinkles and distortions as the starting point where the happiness of 'I' extends to the happiness of 'We'.
