After the lockdown caused by the COVID-19, I was very anxious at first that I had no studio for my work, and found out all exhibitions were cancelled and all course plans were delayed. I felt everything is stopping. To be honest, it was the first time of my life that I cannot plan anything as everyone would be felt.

 

After returning to South Korea, the reason that I could grab my anxious and complicated mind was my research and the study of artists. Through this, I came to think again that artists should not be limited to the environment. And I realised they should try to adapt and discuss their thoughts and perspectives in the current environment (as the new-normal) because they have always created in any environment. 

 

I hoped to study and develop the sporadic manifestation of various ideas in the studio with coherent direction. Through research, documenting work in process, and artists study, in Unit 2, my work has been outlined and it seems to have served as an opportunity to look at me objectively in contemporary art. I was alone without peers, but it was time to concentrate more on me.
