WORKS

The artist’s process begins with meditation, allowing an inner image to form before ink meets paper. Working with ink on hanji, a single, decisive brushstroke unfolds within an empty space understood as a field awaiting the birth of life.

While I have constantly shifted, modified and adjusted the style and substance of my work over the years, the core focus has largely remained the same: a contemplation of our individual finite lives in an infinite cosmos. I find a particular beauty in the emotional energy created by our unique experience of life -- the endlessly varied interplay of humility and hubris, of gratitude and disappointment, of elation and anguish.

And I seek to visualize this energy in my work -- to illustrate the waves it generates, as well as the traces it leaves behind. It is something akin to musical composition, with the ink - produced from wood, fire and water - finding a harmony with the silent, white paper.
