For me, the past was nothing but denial. When I was a child, my family environment was not a very good one, and I used it as an excuse to delinquent behavior. I regretted many times wishing I had made a different choice that day and reached for something that did not exist. In my days of groping in the dark, I somehow stopped hating the past. The past, which had been nothing more than a stumbling block to life, was transformed into a path for tomorrow. It took me many years to realize that "the present is here because of the past. I am finally able to look forward. The past, both good and bad, haunts everyone. They are all things that shape a person. I wanted to sublimate them into a work of art, and that is why I created the work I am exhibiting this time. I hope that my work will inspire someone and move them in the right direction.
