“This is a single grain of sand within the hourglass of life.” ... If you look closely at the grains of sand under a microscope, they all have different appearances. I thought this was similar to the uniqueness of people. So, I work with the idea of observing people as if looking at each grain of sand, excluding any narrative or emotion. I observe people's gestures through 70 to 100 human body croquis, which I draw every week, and through this process of observation, drawing, and redrawing with paint, I felt that emotions and thoughts were revealed in people's gestures. I call it ‘the gesture of thought.’ And my thoughts cannot help but be reflected in the work during the drawing process. And when I complete a work, it doesn't end there. I often discover their feelings and thoughts while exhibiting and talking to the people who view them. That conversation had an impact on me again. Sometimes, I hear things inside me that are difficult to explain in words through someone else's mouth in exactly the right sentences. I can't forget the thrill of that moment. I think it would be good if you understood that all of these connected processes are my work. This faceless human figure could be anyone. I think it would be good if you could observe what words or emotions come up inside you while looking at my work.
