The Play series views memory not as a fixed snapshot, but as an ongoing process of overlap and transformation. I compulsively record countless everyday photographs, but over time these moments no longer exist independently; they blur together into new flows. To translate this into painting, I constructed sequences of images, using color, line, and layering to let scenes merge into one another. Each title preserves the date of the original photograph, marking its documentary trace while also exposing the mutability of memory. A recurring water motif symbolizes this fluidity, while the surface combines digital-like smoothness with painterly materiality. Ultimately, the series explores how personal moments connect and are continually restructured.

My Observations is a series of paintings that capture everyday moments as emotional traces. Rather than simply recording, the works reflect on how discomfort, vulnerability, and ambiguous feelings shape our inner lives. Still figures, restrained colors, and minimal elements highlight subtle tensions and the persistence of memory, offering not a literal moment but a visual interpretation of the emotions around it.
