Using my background knowledge of landscape architecture, I address architectural space and the environment with emotion, sensation and social concern. I have an ongoing interest in the spatial experience based on temporary architecture and shelters built with unconventional materials, which offer a critical experience of space. This intermediate zone between architecture and art cultivates myriad possibilities not only to engage designers and artists, but most importantly also to emphasize a sense of living under the surrounding environment.
As an environmental artist, I regard art as a tool to form a better awareness of the world. Hence, I mostly work with natural and recycled materials such as wood, branches and plastic, trying to give them aesthetic significance and social meaning. My art works do not try to tell a complete story but present an inspiring platform for imagination. They aim to remind people of a moment of solitude, dreaming and the humblest beauty of communicating with the nature.
So far I have been working within the concept of “half-architecture”, which means creating temporary space that leads people into an extraordinary experience engaging a new sense of perception. This attempt creates spatial languages and activates viewers’ multiple sensory perceptions in experiencing space, more importantly, to reflect and transform the social issues that occur in our society. I set this broader line to architecture, landscape and art to embrace the challenges. I choose to face with my art, instead of escaping from the problems.
