Dark Sea of one pyeong

Small-sized space called one pyeong is the earth which I lean my life on. People living in this land try to fix their eyes of oblivion without focus dreaming of mountains and sea. All expectations they had are concerned about itself and have a dream in confined small-sized space. I put my gaze into a vague stillness waiting for coming of night and dawn. Living in the city, I receive the scape of the world standing on the earth, one pyeong. The scape is romanticized and has an eye of longing being trapped in a monitor. Where I never have been, but I seem to have been...

I use the sea scape as a subject matter with island appearing on TV at the break of day awaking the city in this work.

Natural scape was a spiritual world with authenticity of nature as it is and truth of greatness, on the other hand, city scape is only pixel and color with showy image romanticized and imprinted on our mind before we are aware through the mass media. Although we never have been there, we are not conscious of there because of it's commonness.

Primarily, I finished numerical geologic exploration by scale of topographic map (modeling work by scale of topographic map as we had learned at geography class in middle and high school), and I made small-sized dark mountains and sea.

Flat, brilliant gradation of asian-ink is an expression of wildness and fluidness, on the other hand the gradation in Dark Sea of One Pyeong excludes brilliant tone of asian-ink and makes it pixel gradually. The pixelized island is the same with a few of words from the tongue of an empty schemer. This is the body of the first person from his view point, and the path of scape of people in the city like a present state of the body.
