The series of “Stream” is based on the
theme of the preciousness of life. And Seeing emotions as a
liquid-flowing-things, I attempt to confirm my existence internally by
sensitively and intuitively shaping emotions with porcelain clay.
I like to watch all kinds of emotions
surging through me. Even more than that, I love the feeling of swimming in
emotions. Feeling emotions helps me confirm that I am alive. This certainty
invites me to reject meaning and analysis and just be with what I feel. I believe
all emotions, whether they be joy or pain, are all precious because they exist
within the realm of Life. The certainty of being alive encompasses the light
and the dark, the good and the bad, and all things that are considered
opposites.
But as soon as I am distracted, the
certainty easily sinks into the depths of my consciousness and disappears
instantly into obscurity. The feeling of being alive is shapeless and
ephemeral, and I do not know if it really exists or not.
That is why I keep giving forms to my own
feelings intuitively using porcelain clay, which is said to have the best shape
memory among ceramics. By doing so, I continue to confirm the preciousness of
life.
