These paintings were created at the beginning of  the pandemic, even though I majored in painting, but photography was my main way of expression for a long time. I tried to paint a few times but always stopped halfway. Perhaps that’s because photography and painting were different in essence: when you press the shutter, a photo was almost completed; whereas painting often took much longer.But, during the lockdown, I really didn't have much of a choice but to paint no matter what. Afterward I was getting used to this new way of working, and suddenly two years have passed.The inspirations for these paintings were some photos I took in my daily life. Since photo-based paintings were inevitably haunted by figurative images, my work eventually had to tear up these figurative images and put something else into the newborn cracks. Thus resisting image became my main focus in painting, which eventually led to these works.
