Nominee

"Inseparables#126"

The theme of my work is that we are always with nature although we have forgotten or attempted to be away from it. I’d like to remind people that we were born from nature, are in nature, and are going back there, no matter what we think nature is. In my work, objects related to nature, such as bushes, trees, and rocks refer to nature itself as well as the law of nature (what we often forget) like gravity, circulation, and causes-and effects. These works are not just about my private world as self-portraits but about a creature or a human being who was tempted to go against nature, however, turned out to be with it.
