Finally I became a stranger here (in Australia). Sometimes people whom I encounter in everyday life are surprisingly unfamiliar.
Whenever this unfamiliarity comes across to me, not knowing the exact reason, I used to question that these people exist
as a real being or not. Everyday I meet hundreds of images from the media, such as newspaper, magazine, advertisement fliers,
and internet. I know that these are real events in the real world. But I am so much doubtful all of them. How can I know
that this is real. I never been to North Korea, but I believe that the military march and screaming people after the death of
their ‘Dear Leader’ are true. How can I say that I know this world which is seemingly quite unreal? Actually what I am looking at
is just machinemade digital image, which is a combination of zero and one (0, 1). Therefore this can not be real, rather it can be
fake or new invention of unreal. I am very suspicious of this world.
Nevertheless, it is my destiny that I have to play with those unstable images as metaphorical comprehension. When I paint
such strange and odd figures on canvas, I have a feeling that I get involved into them eventually to be a lonely, isolated being as myself.
I become an extremely small portion of the whole scene. Therefore I inevitably expose myself as a disabled person.
In my painting, the hunchbacked dwarf seems like a projected self, as a stranger, onto the screen of the unreal world.
At the same time, dwarf is an expression of philosopher. Unfortunately, contemporary philosopher turns up as a dwarf,
because of his powerlessness. The outer world is so boisterous that this dwarf cannot find any of his place.
Not before long, he was the only being who recognizes the world in a whole, so he had been an absolute power in various names.
Now the world is too big and confusing to understand it. For him, it is the world of giants. It is a contemporary human tragedy
because all he can do is to contemplate the world alone at night time.
