Nature Series
I draw abstract natural environments using the process of pouring Sumi ink and moving the paper. I rely on chance and accident as part of my approach. Once I’ve dripped ink on blank white paper, a certain constant rule occurs. While I am manipulating the materials, I feel that I coexist with the drawing and the materials, a form arising from another form, like biogenesis in nature. Another reason that I use a technique based on process is that I think it mirrors the organic character of the natural world. For example creatures have evolved to suit to their environment. After these processes, I add hand drawing by using things, which I found by chance instead of a paint brush. I often borrow power of nature such as wind. It makes me imagine primitive drawing technique and beginning of human civilization.
I respect nature because nobody can overcome the power of nature, and nothing more is beautiful than nature or life. I believe that humans are part of nature and also part of the food chain. While being a highly intelligent creature is valuable, our lives were never meant to be more valuable than those of other creatures. All creatures have the same number of roles to play, and their lives have equal value; everything on the earth coexists equally, and eventually everything turns to soil.
