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 painting dozens of layers of acrylic, oil, and crayon paints directly onto the canvas with bare hands in order to create the texture of a wall that has become dirty with age.
The background is completed with one more layer of hard pencils to draw mathematical equations, etc., as if they were graffiti.
On top of this, hashtags and icons that symbolize the social networking society are drawn using the stencil technique, recently popularized by Banksy. The work has a Pop Art context, with elements of popular and trendy, mass-produced 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.
