About
Digital work has been produced using a variety of techniques Flat work, which has been using airbrush techniques, meets digital media and becomes stereoscopic and animated. It is a still frame that brings life to analog painting. As if walking in a dream, the camera angle walks through a virtual space. I can hear the music from afar.

The camera walks through the vanishing old neighborhood. We see new paintings through the camera, including peeled walls, colorful garage shutters, interesting-shaped city gas pipes, and occasional graffiti from a young child. That's how we remember the forgotten space.

Families (grandparents, grandmothers, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, and dogs) who are three-dimensionalized in the form of 3D cartoon characters dance to fanfare music, holding their own instruments and microphones, singing and playing. It's a happy family march that anyone can always hear. It's alive. It's full of life. It's humorous. It's funny. It's friendly. And lovely. This is a joy and a happy life. The story of a happy life, not a fuss, resonates in the neighborhood.

*** In one corner of the exhibition hall, mannequins dance with techno music under the brilliant neon signs. Broken mannequins, limbless body-separated mannequins dance all night in the garbage dump. Mannequin sculptures collected after being used in various ways in different places enjoy meeting tonight. Maybe they accept reality and show their own survival. But our hearts are not at ease watching their party. The mannequins installed in the exhibition hall are so human that they are uncanny. At one time, they were the main characters in the consumer market, where they made their debut in a department store show window wearing fancy costumes. However, their fate depends on what kind of owner they meet, and their lives are on a different trajectory. Mannequins Born into Objects, Do They Have Souls?

One day, he collected pieces of discarded mannequins from a downtown clothing store and talked to them in the studio. The monologue alone led to landscape painting, a world of imagination only for the artist. As a child, imagination became a feasible story and the doll was an erotic object that fostered imagination of imagination. When the child was sleeping, he met a lovely doll princess. Sometimes morning glory dolls in pretty dresses come out of the desk drawer and dance in the dream space. Dreams are more touching than reality and more beautiful than reality. Sometimes the stories of novels and movies become scary and cruel reality around us. The woodcut doll Pinocchio Story, which was made by cutting firewood, shows our desire to become a true human being, longing for affection. Eye robots made to be loved in the movie 'AI' are dumped in a waste disposal site. In reality, we are both child robots that are discarded after their usefulness is over, and we are also heartless humans who abandon child robots.

In the exhibition hall, abandoned mannequins like abandoned dogs are still dancing. "In the gestures of the mannequins, we see their desire to breathe life, to be resurrected as human beings with warm blood and flesh. We humans who already have flesh and blood still desire something. I dream of being a complete group. desire immortality I hope that the use will not be discarded in a wild capitalist society. Aren't mannequins and human beings surprisingly similar?
