Artist Statement:

The exhibition title is “I am Pluto.” The reason why I named it is because Pluto has some characteristics which match my fantasy toward myself, such as Pluto was the furthest and smallest planet in nine planets. And it was kicked out to nine planets because it couldn’t sweep away other stars in its orbit. Moreover, this tiny star is mysterious due to long distance from earth. The furthest planet from sun is ice, that’s why the petite planet called Pluto. What a cool appellation!

This star has too many characteristics can be imagined, but all comes up with my mind is unproportionately cute, and that is a sense of humor of “what a great misunderstanding!” Perhaps that is what I want to express on my creation so far.

In this exhibition I will present most of works which has been created when I was in residence programme in Korea last year. There was a solo exhibition in the end, and I named it “petite life”. There were some little things have been refit which I found in my daily life in those three months, you can see the exhibition about “petite life” in this video:

That experience of residence programme in Korea is very important to me. Because of the freedom of more relaxed but complicated procedure, it changed my create situation. If there is no accident, I will add three more new works in this VT solo exhibition, and basically it is continue “petite life”. Furthermore, I hope I can obtain more in this solo exhibition.
