Crowd
‘Amid the crowds I familiarize myself with, I continually seek love through networks: the threads that appear thin but are strong enough to depend on for my life.’

Hatred can unite people through shared emotions, creating bonds that may transform into habits, passive abuse, or even genocide. Such repeated acts of hatred escalate in scale and frequency, leading to intolerance and reinforcing negative beliefs as societal norms. Some conform, thinking, "Everyone else is doing it," while others ponder, "Why is everyone doing it?”
Go

Plants reach toward light, even when bent by obstacles.
Humans, guided by thought, are asked to do the same.
With narrow cones filtering vision, participants were told to “follow the light.”
They stumbled—instinct colliding with awareness, obedience folding into hesitation.
Between freedom and direction, the body hesitates.
Are we moving by choice, or simply by design?
MOVE
2024
Collage on paper, 42 x 30 cm
Under the presence of an absolute being with a radiant halo, nature seems vast and incomprehensible. Yet, we humans live as if we are an integral part of it, trapped in the illusion that we fully understand the natural world. We dominate other living beings, exploiting their functions for mobility and utility. This dominance creates patterns that are passed down through records, conveyed through speech, action, and sound, propagating as if they are indisputable truths, all while commanding, “move.”
This work is a subtly manipulated version of such records, re-cut and reconstructed. Despite the paper's lightness, its fragments carry a multitude of embedded and created meanings. The civilization formed through endless “attribution of meaning” raises a philosophical question: Does this civilization truly hold meaning, or is it merely the result of repetitive patterns and manipulation?
Consuming Rolls of Emotions
2023
Drawing on receipt paper, 250 x 15 cm
We don’t just purchase objects, we buy emotions.
Desire turns into happiness when fulfilled,
and into quiet shame when denied.
We collect what we don’t need _filling homes, feeds, and empty spaces
with things that mirror our longing to feel full.
Each mark on the roll records an impulse:
joy, lack, repetition.
New rolls wait, blank yet ready as people keep buying, ready to be refilled.
