Statement
I'm a visual artist, who works in the mediums of sculptures, site-specific installations, and photographs. I attempt to express the notion of boundaries, and the quiet unknown world lying beyond lived experiences. My visual investigations represent inseparable yet opposite ideas - interior and exterior, sanctity and secularity, eternity and demise. I use straight thin steel and cut glass to make my work. The hard, cold, reflective and fragile properties of steel and glass possess defining characteristics. These materials are cut, welded, inlaid, combined together. By exploiting the environmental and architectural features of the spaces in which they are presented and in addition to the innate qualities of the materials, my work generates a strong sense of tension lying at the boundary between the known world and what lies beyond it.

カットされたガラスの輝き、削られた鉄の光りー破壊と創造は常に両義性を内包している。凄絶と静寂、恐怖と美の境界は危うくとても脆い。鉄と硝子の彫刻とインスタレーションによりその感覚の奥にある世界の深さを探るのが私の表現です。
