“BONSAI Formers No.29”, PVC, Ceramics, PE, Water-based paint, H12×W12×D9 inches
$1,000

I aimed to reinterpret traditional culture from a new perspective and bring change to familiar landscapes. Through the attempt to combine bonsai, which symbolizes traditional aesthetic beauty, with monsters possessing modern sculptural beauty, I sought to provide an opportunity to rethink my country’s culture and challenge the potential of creating new values that have never been seen before.

伝統的な文化を新たな視点で解釈し、見慣れた景色に変化をもたらすことを目指した。そこで、伝統的な造形美を象徴する盆栽と、近現代的な造形美を持つ怪獣を組み合わせる試みを通じて、自国の文化を再考するきっかけを提供し、これまでにない価値観を生み出す可能性に挑戦した。
