My photographic works have been focused on space and human body, and are classified into three series, although they have the same context. The photographs included in the “Space Measurement (2006-2010)” series, in which human bodies were converted into weights and measures, “force-form (2011-2012)” series that conveys the weight of a space when we face certain spaces, and “Lost Form (2013-2014)” series that indirectly portray a swimming pool, show bodies intertwined in a space and rediscover them. The reason and the method by which I reinterpret spaces are as follows: a space can turn into a place when there is a body that can movie on its own. The three photography series prove that bodies are intertwined with places and places represent human bodies and memories. And I wanted to show, in my works, the moments when spaces turn into places, the daily life arranged in spaces, and the spiritual weight of spaces. When a person disappears, so does the space. Therefore, a place is a combination of a space and human body, and I discover places through photography.
