ARTIST STATEMENT

As the learning increases, creativity diminishes.
Does knowledge teach us to fear of being criticized by society or does it prevent to explore the
inexistent? Like the butterfly effect, one stroke can change the all image. In the exposed face of this
chaos, human mind tends to depict as it is. However chaos’ fertility is bounded by the order. Unlike how
the drawing is seen, there is a purpose as well. Probably the featured objects metaphorically seem
to provide luxury despite preventing you to see the real world. Especially highlighted figures in my
works always purposed to distract the viewer, it is a trap but a good way to start with. Then clues will
lead the audience to the understanding. Briefly, using opposition and indirect expression are my vision.

There are two predictions to consider the value of human life, one of is ‘without you I am nothing’ other one
is, ‘if you subtracted from world now, the big picture does not lose anything’. According to these inferences
the people in chaotic world, drawn as the background. Just lines. It is in our hands to make environment
colorful. Rather than control it, why don’t we become a part of it? Nonpolitically being a ring of the universe.
