I consider the definition and potential of space and how
it affects life and being and attempt to introduce classified physical and
abstract spaces into my method of practice through collage. Physical space can
be where our bodies stay, while abstract space is the private space surrounded
by interpersonal boundaries and a person's ideological space as an independent
being.
In consideration of the latter, when we create space for
ourselves, might it also mean we are isolating ourselves from others, leading
to loneliness? The several perspectives depicted suggest the personal spaces we
create in different locations, while the past works embedded in the space
indicate the activities undertaken in this constructed space. The subjectivity
carried by past works differs between initial production and reuse, but there
is still a continuation and expansion of the context; in them, ideas and
materials, subjects, and objects are constantly negotiating and co-constructing
situations. While shaping personal space, the space also shapes the individual,
from which we reflect on what is happening in the world and experience changes
in our self-perception. It is difficult to describe life experiences clearly,
but these imprecise lines and distorted images become their visual metaphors.
