Reality, as conceived by individuals, does not constitute an absolute truth or universal experience but rather various interpretations composed from fragments of information, and compressed or distorted into personal narratives.

My works examine the relationship between the two-dimensional surface and three-dimensional space as a parallel to the disparity and change that occurs between individual experience, memory and perception. I engage with flat surfaces and transform them into spatial installations. In my work, complex structures consisting of numerous individual pieces create visual illusions by overlapping silhouettes with voids. Through ‘lifting’ the surfaces and juxtaposing them with each other in space, my installations form immersive spaces that blur the boundary between flat and three-dimensional space, inviting individuals to experience, interact and formulate their own narratives.
