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.
