In my previous works, I experienced a sense of satisfaction through spontaneously formed spaces and sculptural compositions. This led me to question why such an approach intrigued me. Rather than simply creating fixed forms, I became interested in the relationships between objects and how they shape structures and sensory experiences.
This interest extended to my perception of urban spaces and personal experiences. Living in cities, I often felt constrained by structured environments. Urban planning, driven by a predetermined logic of construction and organization, dictates how space is experienced. As I observed how cities were designed and built, I became aware of the selective inclusion and exclusion of elements and the limitations imposed on certain choices.
Through my installation work, I seek to disrupt familiar structures and explore how unexpected relationships between elements create new spatial experiences. Some places do not exist as fixed forms but evolve as people modify, remove, and reconstruct them based on necessity. This flexibility and openness to change intrigue me.
Rather than pre-planning a final form, I focus on how relationships emerge during the process of making. Objects, when removed from their familiar contexts, acquire new meanings and evoke different sensations. My sculptures are composed of elements that shift in relation to one another, constantly altering their meaning as they are arranged and rearranged.
This approach extends to my working method: I begin by documenting accidental compositions encountered in everyday spaces. Revisiting these places sometimes deepens my sense of disconnection rather than reinforcing familiarity. To examine this elusive feeling, I translate these experiences into material form.
I experiment with translating spatial sensations into material explorations—considering color, texture, weight, and structure. I deconstruct and reconfigure familiar environments, much like assembling words into an unfamiliar sentence. By suspending, layering, covering, and repositioning objects, I create nonlinear narratives within space.
This process also relates to how we experience time. When multiple elements interact within a space, new structures emerge, merging past impressions with present conditions. The result is an abstract space with a distinct yet unplaceable presence.
For instance, while wandering through London during my studies, I encountered a house entrance that felt both refreshing and comforting. Details such as lace curtains, potted plants, a warm-colored door, and soft lighting collectively suggested a sense of home. Yet, I questioned whether this emotion belonged to me or if the space itself had orchestrated this feeling.
This led me to explore the ambiguity of emotional ownership, visualizing intangible sensations and constructing abstract settings where interior and exterior boundaries intersect in 20th October, 2017. My work does not seek to define fixed structures but instead examines how objects and spaces establish evolving relationships—turning this continuous transformation itself into a sculptural form.
