A series of works that sampled the hashtags and icons used in SNS, which have become commonplace in modern society.
Words are vivid and changeable. Through hashtags, the artist expresses the real and speedy modern society that is constantly changing.
The backgrounds are created by applying dozens of layers of acrylic, oil, and crayon paints directly to the canvas with bare hands to create the texture of aged and dirty walls.
On top of that, hashtags and icons that symbolize the social networking society are painted using the stencil technique, recently popularized by Banksy.
The work has a pop art context, with elements of popularity and trends, mass production society, mass society, mass consumption society, symbolic society, virtual images, ephemerality, repetition, sampling, and the non-internal.
The work symbolizes our modern society where it is commonplace for trends, social networking sites, and hashtags that are currently in vogue to be consumed and disappear, whether they will exist forever or not.
