The skin on the screen is very flat, but on top of it, paints and objects inhabit like living things. Various marks of the artist are scattered such as grass or stones. They combine strangely and create a fascinating work. With a mixture of paintings, collages, objects and sculptural acts, scribbles and pranks roll on the surface as they please. This formative act, which relies on chance and spontaneity, circulates in a chain ring. Numbers are constantly and repeatedly written, and lines and symbols that cannot be self-contained by themselves appear everywhere. Between them is a collage with the shape of flowers and birds. Small everyday objects are secretly and carefully settled around it. Pictures, collages, and objects coexist on the surface, atomizing differences. The desktop itself, which is already the background, is solid, rich traces of physicality, and the process of distant time and weathering, leaving almost a fragment of objectified skin, so everything on it seems inevitably pushed out, naturally cutting from the bottom. It is a painting that is not separated from the surface and a painting that constantly creates a conspiracy relationship of content and formal connection with it using the base as a support.
