作品を制作するにあたり、私はさまざまな影響を受けながら創作意図を表現し、アイデアを深め、プロセスをインスピレーションの源へと発展させています。これらの影響は、コンテンツ、形式、テクニックという 3 つの主な要素に分けられます。

作品の内容は、主に人間の生活と居住に関する文化的な物語を記録し、語ることに焦点を当てています。これらの物語は、個々の住まいやコミュニティの集落、そして最終的には都市社会に至る、生活空間の進化を探求しています。これらの考えを表現するために私が使用する中心的なシンボルは「家」であり、特定の時代の存在を表す役割を果たしています。家はその時代の文化的影響を反映し、徐々に薄れて新しい文化的表現に変化します。さらに、これらの構造は、周囲の物理的な地理によって形作られた、その地域の自然環境に影響を受けた独自の特徴があります。

これまでに芸術的な旅を通じて、国内外で自分の作品を発表する機会がありました。それぞれの展覧会は、単なるアイデアやメッセージを一方的に伝える場ではなく、異なる地域の人々の文化や生き方を共有する場でもあります。私の作品は、特定の時代の生活の本質を捉え、芸術を通じて記録し表現したものです。各シリーズは、伝えたい内容やテーマに合わせて、さまざまなアプローチや方法で表現されています。

 

In creating my artwork, I draw upon various influences to express my creative intent, refine my ideas, and develop my processes into sources of inspiration. These influences can be categorized into three main areas: content, form, and technique.
The content of my work primarily revolves around documenting and narrating cultural stories of human life and habitation. These narratives explore the evolution of living spaces—from individual dwellings to community settlements and, ultimately, urban societies. The central symbol I employ to convey these ideas is the “house”, which serves as a representation of existence during specific periods. It reflects the cultural influences of its time, which gradually fade and transform into new cultural expressions. Additionally, these structures exhibit unique characteristics specific to each location, shaped by the physical geography of their surroundings.
Throughout my artistic journey, I have had opportunities to present my work in various settings, both nationally and internationally. Each exhibition is not merely a one-way communication of ideas or messages but also an opportunity to share and promote the cultural ways of life of people in different regions. These works capture the essence of life during specific time periods, recorded and expressed through art. Each series is presented using diverse approaches and methods, tailored to the content and themes being conveyed.
