About the artwork

I study paint as a material for sculptures, and sculptures as paintings. I work in my imaginary garden where the ping-pong table has been transformed into a painting and the fruit into a ball. I collect colors and shapes from courts and gardens and then rearrange them. In this work, they change from memories to matter and create a new spatial play.
