ARTIST STATEMENT
The world cannot be perceived all at once. Within endlessly expanding time and space, in conversations with unfamiliar people, and in the words I encounter for the first time, there is always a sense of distance. As an outsider in reality, even the most ordinary moments must pass through sound, tone, and surface before I can begin to understand them. I think of this delayed perception between the world and myself as a “buffer.”
This buffer exists between reality and the virtual, between direct experience and mediated experience; it is both something that envelops me and a kind of cushion. My work explores the scenes glimpsed through this gap, along with the sensation of never fully reaching them. In this process, the world oscillates between understanding and misunderstanding, ultimately remaining in a state of incomplete perception.
