The people whom I encounter in everyday life are isolated individual human beings, but I sense the weight of a mass of human beings from them.
This weight is a kind of weight of history. The figures in my works refuse to exist in a vacuum (pure space without any background)
as simple forms of human beings. They coexist in definite spaces with historical, political and social background.
History is severe and unapproachable by normal individuals. We live in this situation, even though we never know true substance of history.
Everyone just lives without knowing the weight of history, nevertheless, lives of them are sublime. I do not have a right to despise them
who are stepping forward silently into history. Although they are either the victims as fragments of a group, or normal people peacefully living,
or politicians, or laborers, I inevitably feel nobility from the moments of their lives filling history.
I feel an unknown shiver when I face a canvas for depicting these figures. The weight of history is heavy and the images of human beings
walking into history are sublime, but I would like to remove its weight.
Through the course of working, I want to make them to be light like dust and feather.
Furthermore, my desire is to obtain transparency of the time and space through my practice.
