I thought that art could be enjoyed by everyone, but when I was studying oil painting in college, I began to think that oil paint was not a painting medium that everyone had ever touched, but a technique only for a few people who had studied it professionally, and that it was a factor that kept people away from art. At some point, I realized that I preferred to develop concepts and come up with ideas that people would find interesting rather than just "drawing." I wanted to make art more accessible to people, so I came up with the idea of stickers, which can be easily applied to the surface. At first glance, the work appears to be a simple landscape painting, but upon closer inspection, it is composed entirely of individual stickers. By depicting a contemporary urban landscape using only stickers, the flat, superficial texture unique to stickers overlaps with the superficial aloofness inherent in contemporary landscapes, further emphasizing the deception of society.
