Classical Beauty


그런 단어가 있을까? 고전함.. 고전스러움은 너무 길다. 어차피 그런 느낌도 인간이 정의 내린 것이겠지만, 왠지 코드가 맞는 사람을 느낌으로 알 수 있듯이, 나는 왠지 나무와도 대화가 가능할 것만 같다. 그 그윽한 정지상태. 그냥 그대로 그 자체로서 그곳에 있음. 누가 뭐라 하지 않아도 흔들릴 수 없는 그 묵직한 현존성. 나는 그런 사람이고 싶다.

I feel like I can converse with trees, but very slowly. It is comparable to when you meet another and intuitively know that they have the same code as you and that you could talk for hours without getting tired. So calmly a tree stands. Just be there as itself. No matter what anyone says, it can't be changed. Strong in existence. I want to be that way.

Floating Girls


Desperate Girls


She was too frail and sweet to go against the stream of the times.
However she will never give up.

Experiences

Can't always be good but I am an empiricist.

Tangible Dreams

Recently I've had a lot of vivid dreams.
As Freud said, these mysterious dreams are from my subconsious desire. Indeed.
In one of my dreams, I kept trying to find a magnifying glass without sucess.
In another I lost my favourite dress just before I was supposed to go to a party.
In another I visited a house I was always curious about and sensed that it was not the kind of place I could stay longer. So let's move on to reality.
The more real a dream, the longer I think about it and try to find what is behind it.
Honesty needs bravery.

Ventilation


Everybody needs their own way of getting rid of their stress.
Just talking to a knot in a tree can be one solution according to Asian traditional story.
Have you ever felt that like when you are at the dentist's, and they touch your nerve by mistake but you can't actually scream because of the situation. The dentist is watching you.
London has thousands of artificial eyes. Maybe you really don't care about this, but sensitive people like me can sense some dark tiny eye watching them from the dark shadow of their lens. woo hoo hoo...

Moonlight



No matter how I try to hide myself from the outside, a shadowy creature appears with its head in front of mine and says 'It's about time to divulge.'

The full moon has a strange power to lighten wounds in deep inside of the mind and sometimes I think it helps to cure them. While you are not looking, small things grow into bigger things and you can't move them without others' help. Live simply...That's the clever way to live unless you want to live on Mars.

Validated by others



It depends on what you believe and what kind of person you are, you make different art from others, so let's do art in your way.
Yesterday, I watched a film called ' man on wire'.

A French man who wants to walk between the Twin Towers by putting a wire between the two buildings.

In the film he said, "Everything is possible."

and "At that moment, I thought it looked impossible, so let's start working."

"Life is rebellion, you need to live on the edge of life."

Of coures you can live very safe life like normal people do, but I felt something from this flim. Perhaps that's the way to make the most beautiful things that can't be explained by words.

If you have energy and you are willing to die for your work then you are ready to make a masterpiece. It only happens when you sincerely want it.

Expression

ART. PAINTING..


It's really difficult to be objective about myself to see what I want to say. Long ago there was a time when you didn't need to step backwards to observe yourself. Just Experss.. Express...
(Maybe it depends on how clever you are..)

The purity of painting always make me cry but it is very rare to see nowadays.

Because we are living in a world with numerous materials. Whatever we imagine, we can make. In this world people make a portrait using a person's DNA. It's a totally different spectrum. In this time are you going to paint person's face in oil? It's difficult. We can't express the zeitgeist by using just perfect traditional no-one dare deny material. Think more...In this time I will finally reach the end of modernity.
Yet I can't do this that soon.

Give and being taken

I have my great great grandfather's sister's daught's ex-husband's son's charming brown eyes.

Booming


Probably my repeated headache from long-term ignorance and indifference. Sure.. It is..
Because I haven’t used it for ages, my brain can’t take any further serious vocabulary, and is shouting at me “I am a kind of muscle. You should warm me up before you need me for big and deep thoughts. You idiot.” Sorry my friend. I am too lazy to use you regularly.
As I get older year by year, there are lots of things I easily forget such as how I was when I travelled alone or the day I cried the most.
Follow my friend’s advice, life is just like a big book. The most tragic moment will be just one page of our life, once it goes, it doesn’t matter really but no-one knows the end of that book yet.

Melting Feelings


Don't know when it started and where it came from, just everything mixed together.
That kind of feeling. You might know..

Relationships

The hardest thing on earth.

You Name It.




It depends on what you feel, what you see and who you are meeting at a specific moment. The same object can be felt in a different way. People see what they want to see. Seeing is the most selfish and indivisual sense we have. Your mental state controls your sight and blocks extra things in front of your eyes. It is like a window in my home. I can only see my area through the window. It all comes from belief. Especially belief from self-defence is the best on earth. I had this kind of experience.
Sometimes people's faces look different... Sometimes my face as well.

So, let's not be too possesed by ourseleves.

Crater of the Moon


As usual, my drawing started from the point of escapism.
When all the messy torturous things are around me, the best way to avoid them is drawing.
It is because, your desire, passion and yearning, all of them are released from the normal rules. Like in a dream.
Someone said, my works are similar to surrealism.
But I believe reality is more powerful than dreams. Real life is stranger than fiction as you know. But we may need time to give us freedom by going far away. I am not just talking about real distance.
Maybe someday I can go to the moon. If I can go there, I will throw away all my dusts and tears.

Competitive Society




It is getting hard to manage my time the way I want to. The precious period is now.
What am I doing?

Sceret Garden


Whatever you say in the garden. You may think nobody is listening to you. But the thing is when you see them they see you too. When you talk about them they sense you too.

Stockholm Syndrome



The girl felt more comfortable in there.
She prefered this, the most attractive exciting situation that she'd ever experienced, rather than going back to town and just staying with people in routine life.
Yes, indeed. she was so bored with that.
And strangely she could understand what this huge angry creature's feelings were like.Some kind of sympathy was there between the monster and her.The people who tried to rescue her from the hideous creature would have never known such a feeling. Suddenly, the people there started to throw arrows and javelins at them.

Secret Forest


When you are stuck by some strong force, and you feel enervated.
Your imagination is the best place to hide and to avoid from outside world.

swamp


Have you ever felt that you are actually in the same place and not going anywhere? Time passes by and it makes you feel like you are getting older and more mature. You feel like you are improving somehow and moving forward to somewhere. But what if it's just you who is getting older and gaining nothing. People think that as the time passes by they are learning something naturally. Like compensation mentality... whatever..I don't know.

Perfect Inside


We wander around to find a perfectly safe place in our entire lives. As we go outside to seek this special place, we tend to turn back and go back to where we came from, like the homing instinct. That place can be an empty zone, no sound no decoration like a womb.

Physical Universe


As a woman, I feel a creative force in my body. Of the million different possibilities, I was born from my mother's body. It is amazing like a supernova.
