KEEPSAKE
In this exhibition, each artwork becomes an intimate record of what they have seen, felt, or wished to preserve. Across a range of techniques and materials, these artists give form to the idea of the keepsake, translating fleeting emotion, familial tenderness, and sensory impression into objects that extend an invitation to remember.
This series, "Starflower", explores the image of floral forms and cosmic imagery. Flowers are often seen as cheerful and uplifting, and in this series, I paint them in their most simple and abstract form. Are they flowers? Are they stars? These ambiguous shapes that exist like dots coexist in space with various colors and geometric shapes. Throughout these pieces, I also wanted to bring the essence of nostalgia, the flowers representing individual memories that each person holds.
