“Man and the world are bound together like the snail to its shell: the world is part of man, it is his dimension, and as the world changes, existence (in-der-Welt-sein) changes as well.” - Milan Kundera
I believe objects distinguished not only by their physical form, but also by the space they occupy, and the way they breathe with their surroundings.
My artistic goal is to represent objects as they are being shaped by the surrounding dimension, the world they exist within. I am seeking to express a thing and its world together. In my works, various objects appear floating while confined in translucent, cuboid-shaped space. Rather than fixed entities of images, they look like ethereal things. Their appearance constantly varies depending on the viewer's perspective and sources of light. These figures do not exist independently in space, but rather are interconnected with space.
Those are “manufactured” by unique capabilities of 3D printing technology. 3D printers are designed to build objects using thin surfaces surrounding complex internal structures; therefore, this essential ‘infill’ is inevitably encased inside of printed objects, hidden from the spectator, and forgotten by the creator. My work seeks to expose these structures, turning their hidden interiors inside out.
