SEE MY FRIENDS

06 November – 18 December, 2020

I often think about communication in regards to my work. When two people communicate with each other, they both assume a certain universal understanding for what the other one is saying. We often focus on the topic of the conversation instead of the interaction itself. However, most conversations we have in our daily life are not of any significance, and their content disappears into thin air within seconds after being spoken.

Painting figures and creatures gives me a strange feeling.
Sometimes I feel an immediate sympathy for them, but sometimes I do not.
It could be that there is an ideal form them. But there is no correct form how these figures should be. A line can exist as creature. And a line can exist without any purpose. So basically, any form could be for nothing.
I like that.
An existence without purpose.
It sounds a bit sad.
I think it is similar to our existence.
