Water, Wind, and Wave
Water, Wind, and Wave
In 2019, I had an opportunity to collaborate with Yiseol Kim, a novelist who wrote Bad Blood (나쁜피 in Korean). As I am interested in the idea of place associated with individuals' lives, I took inspiration from a riverside area and the characteristics of water. In a reflection of the protagonist in the novel who strives to overcome her unfortunate destiny, I attempted to deconstruct pre-existing landscapes to build a new world. I created a new reality in which forms become fluid, shifting, and ever-changing like water, which does not have a fixed structure. To reflect my intention, I improvised the entire process of making these screenprints. Without a predetermined end, I repeatedly disassembled and reassembled fragments of the images documented from the location. As I was developing the construction and deconstruction process, employing analog and digital artmaking techniques, new forms emerged unexpectedly. Through my imagination, I attempt to evoke the desire for change, envisioning new possibilities and dynamic, ever-changing realities.
