If you could revisit one specific moment from your childhood, which moment would it be?
If I could revisit one specific moment from my childhood, it would be one ordinary evening when my parents, grandmother, my siblings, and I were gathered around the round table. The room would be dimly lit by the soft glow of a lamp since there were no other lights, and we’d be playing simple games together, just enjoying each other's company. Then, in a burst of excitement, the lights would come on, and we’d all jump up, shouting, “The light has come!” It would be so lovely to see our happy, excited faces at that moment, filled with pure joy over something so simple.
If your hometown were a character in a fantastical world, what magical powers or abilities would it possess?
The way I see my hometown through its existence, I imagine an immortal character with the ability to shapeshift.
If you could collaborate with any artist, living or dead, who would it be and why?
I would love to collaborate with Louise Bourgeois. I admire her art and sculptures deeply—her work is so powerful and full of emotion. There's something raw and intimate about the way she explores themes of memory, identity, and personal experience. It would be an incredible opportunity not only to create something meaningful but also to hear her bitter criticism.
Imagine your art as a recipe. What ingredients would it have, and what would the final dish taste like?
If my art were a recipe, I would imagine it as a very soft salad shaped like a sea shell. The ingredients would be delicate and fresh—light, airy greens mixed with subtle flavors, offering a sense of calm and simplicity. The texture would be soft and smooth, creating a gentle introduction to something more complex.
If your art could travel through time, where would it go?
I would love for my art to travel into the future, but it truly moves there—from the present to a time when culture and moral values are vastly different from what they are now. The real question is how far it could go—will it still be meaningful or resonate with future generations? Will it survive, or will it end up gathering dust, forgotten by time.
If your art could change one thing about the world, what would it be?
If my art could change one thing about the world, it would be to introduce a powerful symbol or icon that becomes part of the culture of this time period—something that sparks discussions and inspires creators to see the world differently.
If your art was translated into a scent, what would it smell like?
It would smell like fresh air after heavy rain, with hints of damp soil—a scent that feels both grounding and light, evoking a sense of calm and possibility.
Imagine your art came to life as a character in a story. Describe its personality and what adventures it would embark on.
This character would be a transparent and weightless figure, devoid of a face, leaving its identity open to interpretation. This absence would symbolize the idea that the character is not bound by any specific form, allowing it to evolve as it journeys through the world, existing between reality and the ethereal. It would be a figure in pursuit of the unknown, always in motion and constantly evolving as it embraces the mystery of its own existence.
