Compiling abstract records of emotions is crucial for documenting and preserving my past experiences and coping mechanisms. This involves reflecting on the concept of emotions and adding layers to express emotions shaped by childhood experiences, while also considering how emotions are stored within us. Emotions are interconnected and influenced by past situations, which is physically reflected in layering using transparent gesso.

“My practice began with a conflict experience. It focuses on the exploration of my personal identity and the flaws in human nature. Since then, my works have been focused on everyday painting, abstract painting. And during my time in college, I tried to capture the emotions of certain moments in time by using symbolic forms as a means of inducing self-reflection and self-reflection.It's important for me to capture and maintain my emotions because if I record them like that, I can refer back to them later and remember how I dealt with them.Our emotions are the result of various situations and factors that we have learned since we were young. Each emotion is influenced by various situations and connected to each other like a layer.Our emotions and behaviors are all connected and rooted in situations that we have learned and become familiar with since we were young. The way to layer using transparent filing is physically consistent with my belief that all emotions are connected and affected.From the moment we are born, we live by repeating learning. We are exposed to our parents, friends, and environment to imitate their behaviors, learn how to express our feelings, and form our own senses. Learning is an ongoing process of self-development in which each experience is based on previous experiences. I've been working on my self-documenting using this concept.”
