ARTIST STATEMENT
My artistic practice centers on constructing an "Organic Hyper-Narrative Machine," materialized through acrylic and spray paint on canvas. As a millennial, screen-based imagery has been an integral part of both my conscious experience and creative passion—my selection of visuals is rooted in rich, screen-mediated encounters, spanning video games, memes, films, emojis, anime, and broader meme culture. Drawing on Jean Baudrillard’s theory of simulacra in ‘Simulacra and Simulation’, I argue that contemporary high-traffic images have transcended mere representation: they operate as autonomous entities—signifiers severed from their original referents—forging a new "hyperreal" order. Taking inspiration from Japanese manga, I employ fragmented narratives, exaggerated panel compositions, and unconventional text layouts to amplify visual tension. When transient images from disparate realms are organically fused within this narrative framework, unstable yet intricate hyper-narrative organisms emerge—machines pulsating with layered storytelling. Within these constructed systems, complex narratives dissolve the traditional binary between "signifier" and "signified," allowing the latent meanings of images to escape my control and guide viewers into a realm of ultra-free interpretation. This liberation of semiotic boundaries has long been the core of my exploration of hyper-narrative machinery. In my latest works, I have deepened this inquiry by incorporating reflections on ‘hyper-interpretation’: building on feedback from previous exhibitions and ongoing practice, I have observed that when collective hyper-interpretation accumulates to a certain threshold, the signifier and signified of images extend into diverse ideological dimensions. This insight has become a new focal point of my practice—not just embracing the freedom of viewer interpretation, but actively engaging with the transformative power of collective reading. By nurturing this dynamic between the work, the audience, and the layered meanings that emerge, I seek to push the boundaries of my "Organic Hyper-Narrative Machine," exploring how shared interpretations can redefine the ideological potential of visual symbols. Ultimately, my practice is a continuous exploration of the dialogue between images, narratives, and audiences. Through deconstructing and recombining digital-era visuals, and now engaging with the dynamics of hyper-interpretation, I aim to create works that transcend fixed meanings, inviting viewers to co-create a constantly evolving, multi-layered ideological landscape.
