By dissolving boundaries between figure and landscape, I invite viewers to reconsider the human body not as a fixed form, but as a dynamic site where identity, memory, and emotion originate. My work emerges from this premise through an ongoing exploration of human connection: how it begins, evolves, and ultimately shapes collective society.
Physical features are selectively dissected, blended, and erased into layered compositions. Magnified to a molecular scale, flesh unfolds into unidentifiable forms that transform into landscapes. Through abstraction, the body becomes a site of inquiry, questioning identity, social norms, and systems of distinction. Its relationship to space reveals persistent dichotomies: self versus other, freedom versus social expectation, rationality versus unconsciousness, individuality versus collectivity.
My process mirrors these contradictions. The bodies are born from life yet exist in a state of presence and absence. Navigating a reality marked by violence, the work reflects how one individual can extinguish another’s life with devastating disregard. Fragile, porous bodies collide with hardened ego, revealing the tension between vulnerability and dominance. Though the forms appear unstable and uncertain, I perceive them as landscapes, as sacred shelters that hold collective history. Within this constructed landscape, I trace the liminal space between bodies, revealing the friction between inner struggle and social forces.
