In this project, I introduce subtle disturbances and structural displacements into the order of reality, constructing a visual condition that oscillates between familiarity and unease. Rather than relying on extreme fantasy, the work is grounded in highly quotidian scenes. Through substitution, recombination, and slight adjustments to physical logic, reality appears visually “as if it holds,” yet contains latent deviations. In doing so, the images prompt viewers to recognize that reality is not a stable or fixed entity, but a system that is agreed upon, learned, and continuously maintained.
Within these images, elements of nature, urban space, industrial structures, and everyday objects are placed into relationships that are irrational yet visually plausible. Components originally designed to serve function, efficiency, and order are detached from their prescribed purposes and recontextualized as symbolic forms. This strategy weakens the certainty of reality, allowing space, scale, and causality to enter a state of restrained and controlled imbalance.
What interests me is not spectacle itself, but the fragility exposed in our understanding of “normality” at the moment when rules are quietly altered. For me, the surreal is not an escape from reality, but a method of looking back at it. By introducing elements that do not belong, I seek to reveal the structures of reality that have long been internalized and rarely questioned.
The overall body of work presents a condition of surface calm and internal instability. Through a brief visual pause, I hope viewers reconsider the relationships between human beings and their environments, civilization and nature, as well as function and meaning.
