Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork    

These four pieces of artwork are organized based on the concept of "New Living Public Space - Underground Subway Station."  
 
As a result of how society works, environmental changes will unavoidably affect people. They will also cause us to consider how we interact with the environment, making "relocation" a crucial issue we must face. What I attempt to discuss and think about in the subject of "Relocation." is also what I want to explore in my new site - although London is foreign to me, I feel familiar occasionally. It seems to have a special connection to my past. 
 
In those images, I want to show "the appearance of everyday existence." The area is divided and given a new meaning by arranging lines and color blocks in various ways. It makes new connections such as "Me and it," "this and that," "essential and supplementary," "objects and unseen space," and the interactions between the many planes of space.
