    Description

    1. material: The body is made of paper clay pasted on a wooden board, then paper pasted on top, and painted with spray paint and markers. The head of the destination symbol is molded from silver paper, fleshed out with paper clay, and painted gold.

    Concept: This series symbolically expresses the despair and hope in the current mass extinction of species. The 404 on the body is a symbol for extinction, as it is the number that appears on the Internet when a page cannot be found due to an error (a certain species cannot be found due to an error). The organic drawing contrasts with the artificial 404. The head of the destination symbol is stuck diagonally into the ground and does not seem to function, but its golden color is a metaphor for the fact that even in despair, there is hope.

    Technique: I wanted to create a dystopian atmosphere, so the design and texture of the body part was inspired by graffiti on abandoned walls. I also designed the body parts to be peeled off in places to reveal the gold inside, which corresponds to the head of the destination symbol.

    Materials: The body is made of wooden board fleshed out with paper clay, stuck paper on it and painted with spray and marker. symbol is made of alminium paper fleshed out with paper clay and painted with golden spray.

    Concept: In this series, despair and hope in the mass extinction which is currently happening is symbolically expressed. 404 on the body, being the numbers displayed when an online page is not found by error, are used as symbols of extinction(A species is not found by error). Applying organic drawing there, I tried to contrast it with 404 which is artificial, Regarding the head part that is a destination symbol, it's stick to the ground and seems not function but its gold color is a metaphor of hope in despair.

    Technique: I wanted to creat a dystopian ambient so I made design and texture that are just like graffitti painted on a ruin's wall. Some part of the body has a gold color as if the surface come off and the gold inside could have been seen, and this gold color echoes with the destination symbol head Some part of the body has a gold color as if the surface come off and the gold inside could have been seen, and this gold color echoes with the destination symbol head.

  • About this artist

    Concept

    The main themes of my work are artificiality and nature, and recently I have been working on the concept of "bringing the artificial closer to nature. Humans are moving further and further away from nature, the place where we were born and a part of it, and closer and closer to the man-made things we create. The result, I believe, is problems such as climate change. By conceptually bringing manmade and nature closer together, I am attempting to bridge the distance between man and nature, both within the viewer and within the artist himself. The main theme of the artist's artworks is "The artificial and nature", and he's recently created with a concept "To get the artificial closer to nature". The human beings are rapidly getting away from nature where they are from and belong to, and approaching to the artificial we make. Artist is trying to close the distance between the human and nature inside beholders and artist hisself while getting the artificial and nature closer conceptually. Artist is trying to close distance between the human and nature inside beholders and artist hisself while getting the artificial and nature closer conceptually.
