Park Yeojoo:The main theme of my work is about space and a plane. In our modern society we often spend most of our time in spaces surrounded by four walls. Under these circumstances, people crave an escape from the suffocating walls that enclose us. Simultaneously, it is natural to wonder about these walls and to consider them in a new light. Since ancient times, humans have built up their homes from elements in nature. As time passing, those spaces have been gradually transformed to cubical interior spaces in which we nowreside.

In my work the wall could be an obstacle. At the same time, it could be the one which keeps possibilities to suppositional space.
