The wound become familiar and the innocent tears turn to a hollow smile.
The beautiful memories are remembered as childish behavior.
It is when people say, ‘You are now an adult’.
Growing up to become an adult, I hid my emotions more and more.
I became dishonest.
The countless emotions and feelings have to be buried and hid in reality.
I want to release them in my art.
The <Uncle> character in my artworks is not identical to the definition in the dictionary.
He is not just a middle-aged man.
He is like a hypothetical avatar speaking for the adults as the center of contemporary society.
I want to portray the artless inner side of a hypothetical uncle figure in my canvas.
The tears are common material for most of my work.
They are not to express sadness.
Rather, they are used as a means to express suppressed feelings.
I want to manifest my candid emotions through my work.
I hope that viewers can see and feel what I saw and felt.
Or they could have their own emotions and feelings.
It is the moment that I can communicate with viewers through my artwork.
