A virtual landscape, long desired to face but does not exist, is being displayed using actual images(pictures). The landscape becomes more and more complexly overlapped, by the process of moving from a plane surface(pictures) to a 3D space(paper sculpture), and again back to the plane surface(painting).
The pictures are collected from people, and are used as materials for the painting. It means that collected pictures are incoherent and without intentions, but the images extracted from them reflects “the way I see”. The installations made by cutting and pasting pictures, plays a role as a drawing ahead of the painting. The installations are a figment which reproduces an actuality, while they are an actuality itself with materiality. At the same time, the scene unfolded by them becomes an object for still life, which I am to capture in a painting.
The comprehensive landscape arouses two conflicting emotions like two sides of a coin; the sense of loss by proving the absence of the object, and inversely, the sense of desire to meet the lost object immediately. It is a place where various layers of time and space are integrated into one, and where enables incomplete, countless versions of shuttle from the imagination to the reality.
