“In the evening, I found a dead crow on the balcony of apartment. Unable to bear my nervousness and curiosity, I approached and saw… that it was just a black T-shirt. Another sensation that comes after a moment of relief. I had expected to see an unmoving “presence” standing there…
An overwhelming sense of presence that is still asserted even though it has become just a piece of cloth. There was indeed a crow standing quietly there."
This work does not form a sculpturally precise human body, but is made up of extremely simple elements, and only the minimum of what is visible as a human being is used. However, because of this, “Kehai” stands out. The work contains the "Kehai” of a person next to the viewer and the "presence" of an object that does not move even slightly, creating a strong afterimage than visual impression that is imprinted on the viewer.
It is precisely because we live in an age in which virtual relationships are becoming the norm, I feel it is necessary to question this “Kehai” , the feeling of having someone next to you.
