Merry-go-round
Oil on Canvas

Actual size: 40 x 30 inches

My journey in art is deeply rooted in an unrelenting quest to explore myself and understand the world around me. This journey is driven by an intrinsic force stemming from a profound exploration of my past and present physical self and a search for balance between tension and harmony in the face of scrutiny and opposition. Through the interweaving of illusions and self-awareness, I, as an artist, strive to resonate between the individual and the universal, delving into the external world while also deeply excavating my own experiences.

In my artistic creations, I endeavor to capture the trauma and its lasting impact inflicted by violent gazes I've encountered. My methodology, through the overlay and transformation of the concrete, is seen as a means to distort reality into illusion, serving as a primary element that frequents my work. This duality symbolizes not only a desire to experience longing and introspection from unconventional perspectives but also challenges conventional notions of beauty and societal standards.

Through my art, I aim to convey these personal experiences and deep reflections on society, life, and personal emotions as a form of escapism. Each piece becomes a vessel containing complex emotions—absurdity, melancholy, helplessness, loneliness, struggle, and rebellion. Through the power of art, My goal is to establish a profound connection with the audience, inviting them to share in my feelings and foster mutual understanding, ultimately guiding people to deeply contemplate the body, illusions, and death, challenging traditional concepts, and sculpting a new aesthetic perspective for the viewer.
