ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Wozu -Human struggle in our daily life like a war “Wozu” is a german word which means “what for” In an endless circle of life and death—born in and cross the water to breathe his last breath—humans have been searching for the reasons for the existence and resisted the world and self-made limitations. Humans are often depicted as fruits fallen off the trees in the Norse mythology. Likewise, the story of Babel tower, in which the tower is reminiscent of a tall tree, seems to describe a human challenge against God as well as a desperate struggle to climb the tower to find the origin. If my reflection in the water is another form of my ego, then the other “selfie” lie beneath the depth of myself would fiercely clash with each other with their own voices. Throughout his life man questions his existence without end. Why are we concerned with these questions? If the history of man is the process of humanity’s realization, our curiosity regarding our origins and reason for existence is innate. My initial question regarding man’s duplicity turned to an introspection of my true self and further a question regarding the origins and existence of man. This project is a process of self-examination about reasons for the existence and role. Suddenly awake from sleep I wrote these sentences. These became starting point of my work I reflected myself in water and there was a stranger. I wish he disappeared tomorrow
