SENTIMENT HOVERS
Art Series Vol. 3
Welcome to the Pitch-Grey Area
Art Series Vol. 2
Not knowing the pilot’s intention, the little prince is glad that the young and healthy sheep is in that box. The pilot is the only one who knows that the elephant is inside the boa constrictor, and the box is empty.
Two drawings, however, are presented differently, or rather lose their identities, according to different perspectives. The image of the boa constrictor is distorted by attentions from people excluding the creator; for the box, on the other hand, observers of the (empty) box believes that there is something in it because the creator says so.
Furthermore the box actually made complicated interests as each of observers has different idealistic image.
......
Since you were born, you have received a box with an infinite area inside. Everyone is given it fairly. How you decorate or arrange the area, how-ever, will not be fair as each one of you are in different circumstances; some of them that are not that friendly. The world that we are living in can be described as a one large network full of boxes that are connected by numerous strings.
Attention can be seen as a virus. It is trapped by influences from other factors. In addition, it can be transformed easily, and even can make the receiver of attention vulnerable. Sometimes it pushes one towards the track where one may not be able to come back.
If we block attentions, will we be able to pursue an unbound life? In that case, are social regulations, customs, and moral going to be still valid? Why were those created in the first place? An environment that is proper for living is created by attention, and at the same time a living man disappears into ash because of attention. So, we can never be liberated from attention? Like forever?
People are arranging their boxes with their own ways in order to live along with attention without considering the fact that a red string from their boxes linked to the other person’s box can affect that person.
Everyone tries to ignore attention because they want to enjoy freedom as much as they can. Attention is like a transparent double-sided sword, and the Grim Reaper that we can never avoid.
What will we testify when we live without caring about any gaze or attention?

Resenting Memories
Art Series Vol. 1
Memories are not exchangeable or tradeable assets. They are only faded away by being forgotten; till they are fully forgotten, they are always around you, being something that brings you happiness, or the opposite. I was away from my hometown to the UK for an educational purpose for 7 years. I had psychologic disease, that I miss certain places and time. Naturally I started to forget and not to distinguish what is real and fantasy. However, there is a certain time that brings me to reality – sunset. When the sun sets is my most favourite time. By seeing the red and orange paints graduating to black at the horizon I could rephrase my thoughts and empty them.
Despite my works shows the sunset beautifully, they contain my wander in my past, not satisfying the present I live in due to unforgettable memories
. I was away from my hometown to the UK for an educational purpose for 7 years. I had psychologic disease, that I miss certain places and time. Naturally I started to forget and not to distinguish what is real and fantasy. However, there is a certain time that brings me to reality – sunset. When the sun sets is my most favourite time. By seeing the red and orange paints graduating to black at the horizon I could rephrase my thoughts and empty them. Now I cannot say which is my reality and which is my past and fantasy. I would always be at the place where there always is sunset, waiting for time to pass by. I hope my time to be warm like the sunset, coloured with warm-orange and pink.
But at the same time, I hope the time wouldn't go on. I am fearful to see myself being disgraceful
