To summarize my work in a nutshell, I paint "psychological landscapes" that combine human emotions with natural elements such as "plants, fire, water, and earth." My moody emotions, which rise and fall several times a day, sometimes burn like fire, flow as black rivers, and grow green like plant buds. Most of my work is about how to take negative emotions and transform them into positive energy.
"Green," a theme that has been particularly important to me lately, is based on the motif of plants as a symbol of coexistence and healing. "Green" has gone through a green flame, and in this exhibition, it has become "Falls and Waves," an image of water.
In addition to "waterfalls and waves," the word has many other meanings, including "falling, pouring, rising, swallowing, and the natural energy that accompanies them." When I look up at a large tree that has endured for so many years, with its strong roots, leaves, and branches, all of my troubles seem insignificant. Its flowing branches and lush leaves cascade over me like a giant waterfall. It has lived fiercely from the time it was a tiny seed to now, and it wants to share its strength with me.
