Artist Note

Imagine looking through a special toy called a kaleidoscope. Inside, you see many tiny, colorful fragments that form beautiful patterns and shapes. These patterns constantly shift, resembling vivid, ever-changing dreams.

I use the kaleidoscope as a metaphor for the diverse perspectives and viewpoints we encounter in life. Much like the patterns within the kaleidoscope, our experiences and emotions are in a state of constant flux. This continual movement and transformation can sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed or confused as we navigate the many possibilities and choices in our lives.

Through this exhibition, I invite you to look beyond the surface and delve into the deeper emotional and mindscape within each piece. Like gazing through a kaleidoscope, I hope to share the experience of discovering your own meaning within the chaos and beauty.
