“I draw the gap between fantasy and reality in space as a child's graffiti. Life, which I imagined to turn out like that of Snow White, instead resembles that of a dwarf forced to live in a barren land, and the dream of becoming a wonderful artist like Frida Kahlo morphed into the endurance of the daily vagaries of life.
I put this existential sorrow into clay and bake it in a kiln to create a ceramic sculpture. I chose ceramics because of its inherent dual nature. It exhibits the beautiful, warm texture of baked colors. And yet, behind its sturdy look, it is empty inside and breaks easily, reflecting the gap between illusion and frustration.”

“My primary means of expression is through sculpting heads, similarly to when I was playing with dolls as a child. I sculpt myself in different roles and states of mind. As if they were dolls, I give my sculptures rough edges and clumsy looks.
I use a disharmonious blend of colors like a child's graffiti creating a mise-en-scène of her fantasy that never became. This realizes the dreams that cannot be achieved in the real world visually in my own world, and it sublimates the sadness that we experience through the gap more beautifully.”
