Artist Statement 

What are you afraid of? Death? Loneliness? Time passing too quickly? Aging? Stares from the outside world? My work is created in the context of solitude, exploring loneliness, fear, and uncertainty about reality.

Our world has been in isolation because of the fear of a deadly virus. Like many people, I have spent a lot of time alone. That time was like a mirror, forcing me to look directly at my insecurity and fears, and my fears were magnified. The motivation for this project comes from the context in which death exists, but the work itself is about my own loneliness and my understanding of it.

I was completely on my own and I still am. In my work, the beam of light is an important element throughout the entire project. Originally, I saw this beam of light as a gaze from the outside world, a "weapon" for the external environment to try to break my enjoyment of solitude. Gradually, it came to represent the many fears in my life, fears I can do nothing about.

I once said to a friend, "I'm alive because I'm lucky.”
