Beauty has a thorn






The world is contradicting.
Intimate things hurt us easily. Satisfaction leads more desire. A lovely day brings a little sorrow.

We are struggling in such paradox. This paradox makes our lives complicating and glitter sometimes, therefore attracts us strongly.

In this exhibition, I focus on the conflict and coexistence of beauty and the sense of pain. We are always attracted by beautiful things, but beauty often accompanies a little sense of pain, like a thorn. However we wish, beauty does not last forever. Even if we wish to touch it, it sometimes rejects and hurts us.
We cannot avoid the fact that everything is mutable, fragile and multi-sided. I always create to touch and feel such fluctuation of the world, and reach the truth embracing not only beauty, but also pain.
