LETTERS

The novels, music, poems, or even simpler words I had encountered throughout my life.
Somehow forgotten, deep in the recesses of our unconscious memory, they have been unremarked upon. And yet, as time goes by, they become unwritten images, spinning together in an unwritten, unshakable whole.
Eventually, they became a melody that continued to make noise and echo quietly in my eyes.

Looking back on it now, it took me on a journey through the streets, through cities and landscapes, It was like a letter from far away. I will walk out into the landscape again amid a never-ending song that echoes faintly─.

WALL SONG

The chaos of various things and objects intermingling on the street and its pure existence, positioned as one of the prominent facts that form the urban landscape, was where this series began. But as formats and approaches transformed through presentations, the motif itself became a “Wall.”
Walls are generally made use of corresponding to their negative image. Yet, I am confident that Walls can be hammered down or climbed over: whether this Wall may be various physical complexities or invisible conceptual matters.
That makes the Wall standing in front of us, right this moment, a symbol of hope for the future. Just like that scene on TV, I remember as a boy: as the Berlin Wall collapsed in the whirlwind of jubilation or as the countless revelations sparked from books and music.

WALL SONG is a hymn to freedom and hope for the anticipated future—.
