It is the first work of 'making a drawing'. It is a sculpture made out of the way of drawing which means objects in space to which applied the perspective of drawing. The most interesting and important aspect is distortion. It happens where the space of image and the space of sculpture meet. And when a viewer enters the space, there will be three different perspectives blended. It is where the illusion and distortion reveal as reality.

The narrative is a product of essential human nature. It is conceptual and imaginary.

My current practice is basically 'making a drawing'. It is a sculpture made out of the way of drawing which means objects in space to which applied the perspective of drawing. In a drawing, we try to create illusion by applying perspective. But, when we apply the perspective of drawing to a sculpture, the illusion revealed as a reality. So, the work is not trying to create an illusion but to reveal the illusion as reality.
I have been always interested in human behaviour or human nature which raises irony, absurdity, and so on. Naturally, I am also interested in human perception as the reason of behaviours. It is how human beings understand the world.
The wonky shape of objects and space can be also a metaphor for the current society. In the history of art, many artists have argued 'the real' but our society seems to go in the opposite direction. When the ideal/virtual comes tangible, it might be all crooked and wonky. It might the nature of human and human perception.
