Series 1. Atomos

The stories of all my paintings start from the hottest light.

​

An amazing butterfly dream of Zhuangzi, one of the famous Chinese philosophers. Once Zhuanzi dreamed that he was happy flying in the air when transformed into a butterfly. Suddenly, He woke up to be confused. He does not know anymore whether it was then he dreamed he was a butterfly or whether he is now a butterfly dreaming he is a man. This philosophic story makes us blow our minds.

​

One day, I found that a cup of glass was empty on the table with a light shining. At that time, I figured out that it was full of all shapes including the air, also. I`m not sure whether it is full or empty, all atoms in motion.

​

 “Atom”. An atom is the smallest constituent unit of ordinary matter that has the properties of a chemical element in science. The essential meaning of my ‘Atom’ has been taken from the Atomic theory of Democritus in Ancient Greece. It has a material and a soul. There are atoms in the space. The atoms will always be in motion. I took the moment the atoms restructured themselves. It depicts the surrealistic moment when the bubbles of the atoms reconstruct the main body.

​

I think the loss of humanity came in these days so that the ancient Atom was parted from its soul. I hope my atoms let the people know that essential values include humanity
