Lightness and Weight

Dreams and imagination are like balloons filled with gas, floating freely in the air, while our daily lives and physical limitations act as the mass that pulls us to the earth. The works in “Lightness and Weight” metaphorically portray people without identifying gender or age. Through the use of unique shapes and painting techniques, they create an illusion of weight, exploring the dimensions of lightness and heaviness, dreams and reality, freedom and limitation. This ambiguous atmosphere reflects the dual states of life that occur simultaneously.
