The artwork primarily presents a deliberately arranged landscape, where collaged paper shapes form the foundation of color blocks. Ink-drawn lines are then woven across the surface, creating an interplay of solid and void, intertwining line and plane to establish a harmonious, tranquil, and distant abstract scenery.

The collaged color blocks flatten the space, using minimal variations to convey the relationship between thin and thick layers. The drawn lines, originally representing water ripples, are also used to depict elements such as air, plants, and dust. By deconstructing the essential components of a landscape, the composition becomes more refined and simplified.

Collage serves as the foundation of my creative process. I constantly seek the most fitting arrangements among different textures, a practice that seems to reflect my own nature—much like my fondness for organizing, categorizing things, and repeatedly engaging in certain behaviors. My works embody a sense of simplicity, quietness, and detachment, mirroring my own characteristics.
