My Art as Cushion

My intention of Art is for purifying people’s past and pain.  I use art to heal and restore peoples mind and soul. Because my inspirations come from political topics and current social issues, people may categorize me as a Political Artist. However, my focus is on smaller individual’s life instead of political ideology. 

Since the ancient time, Art was used to emphasizing the religious belief and political power. Now, in modern time, we use Art to boost the economy and politics. Our daily life activities all are under the influence of technology. We enjoy the new Art using technological advancement. It has affected human life positively as well as negatively. 

Since four million years ago, humankind has started walking with two legs; we slowly developed our knowledge and body function over a very long period. However, with the development of urban infrastructure, securing of water and fire became unnecessary. Now we transmit information to get what we need. The lifestyle that we have been operating for ten thousand years has changed significantly in the past 100 years. Although we favor the current lifestyle, I find it somewhat uncomfortable. Because our body has not changed its form since the beginning of time, I wonder if our mind and body have adjusted for this rapid change.

I get most drawn into “Embodiment” art.

What is after experiencing those modern technologies? We can keep going forward but should not forget the origin of the human body function. It is time to focus on the embodiment again. How do we feel, how do we relate, how we do things in this world? We should re-think how we are.

My art project is interactive and primitive. I often invite a group of participants to work collaboratively. I find joy in the process of finding inner self through the experience. Sharing the experience with other people is very rewarding and gives me so many inspirations. I hope my art project help people fill the gap between the radical advancement of modern technology and the primitive function of the humankind. We cannot ignore the purest and most beautiful work of art, “human.”
