2024 | Longlist + Shortlist | Exploration
- Why did you create this work?
I use children's playfulness to turn the complex and stressful adult society into a naive utopia. Because I want to bring back the simplicity of childhood and dissolve the pressures of real life. Meanwhile I also work on childhood nostalgic textures to find visual memories of a distant yesterday and graphic based compositions through this series.
