Behind the splendid appearance of the renovated city, it is difficult to find the same affection and solidarity between residents as before. However, unlike this cold cityscape, the old alleys still retain the scenes from my memories, such as old multi-family houses, crude artificial gardens, and flower pots and plants.
Of course, the emotions I felt toward these objects were not just warmth,leisure, or comfort just because they stayed in one place or were repeated over a long period of time. When observing these landscapes, I capture the complex and intersecting emotions that come in a split second and proceed with my painting work. In this process, I would like to think about and talk about the dual sense of disconnection in the current landscape where the warmth of memories and the cold reality coexist.
