시간은 단순히 흐르는 것이 아니라 축적되고 겹쳐지며 감각의 결로 스며듭니다.
프루스트가 말한 ‘의지하지 않은 기억’처럼 나의 조형은 문득 깨어나는 감각에서 시작됩니다. 이 전시는 흙이라는 물질을 매개로 손끝의 떨림을 기억하고 감정의 여운을 담아 시간의 밀도를 조용히 형상화한 하나의 ‘초상’을 담고 있습니다. 나선 구조와 겹쳐진 무늬들은 마치 시간의 나이테처럼 감정의 흔적이자 삶의 리듬입니다. 그 안에 축적된 시간과 무의식이 깃들어 하나의 조형 언어로 말을 겁니다. 이 형상들이 당신 안에 스며든 오래된 시간을 다시 피어나게 하기를 바랍니다.
Time is not merely something that passes; it accumulates, overlaps, and seeps through the fabric of our senses. Like Proust’s “involuntary memory,” my sculptures begin from a sudden awakening of sensation. This exhibition, mediated through the material of clay, quietly embodies the density of time, recalling the tremors of my fingertips and capturing the echoes of emotion in a form that becomes a kind of "portrait." The spiral structures and overlapping patterns resemble the rings of time, acting as traces of emotion and the rhythm of life. Within them, accumulated time and the unconscious reside, speaking through a sculptural language. I hope these forms will awaken long-forgotten times within you, allowing them to bloom again.
