Inspirations behind my work of the last thirty years has

 

come from memorable dreams that I experienced back in the

l

late 1980's to early 90's. From recapitulating and pondering

 

over these seemingly 'archetypal' dreams, I have created a

 

personal myth in visual art form that tries to explain human

 

destiny as I see it. However, it will be very difficult to

 

comprehend my thoughts from viewing single piece or even the

 

whole exhibition: you will likely only see abstract patterns and

 

forms. Like puzzle, you will probably need to see considerable

 

number of works before picture begin to appear and you can

 

perceive thoughts behind them. I state that because I myself

 

has just begun to see the overall picture after years of working.

 

That is fine. Hopefully, these forms and patterns of individual

 

pieces are intriguing enough to emote sensations or thoughts,

 

and appreciated as artwork in its own.

 

 

 

 

Among the dreams that have influenced me and my

 

art, this particular one was exceptional and most influential: In

 

this dream,I was in the center of universe surrounded by zillions

 

of whirling orbs which I thought were suns and stars. With an

 

immense energy which I felt, they moved toward the center

 

where nebulous, ever- changing form stood. Afterward I came

 

to see the whole universe as macro-cosmic Tree- a Cosmic

 

Tree in which suns and stars, the fruits; a central, nebulous

 

form, the trunk; and branches of and cosmic dusts.

 

 

To depict this Cosmic Tree and to illustrate thoughts derived

 

from analyzing the dream, I have used a variety of art media-

 

installations, paintings, drawings and even verses. With

 

sculpture, I have illustrated the Cosmic Tree symbolically as an

 

organic, plant like form colored with spiraling patterns

 

resembling stars and galaxies. Though in a dream, the Cosmic

 

Tree is ever changing, boundless form, to create it in a concrete

 

sculptural form, I've captured it as though time stopped for a

 

nanosecond, and form instantaneously solidify.
