Work Commentary:
My work primarily focuses on two-dimensional pieces exploring themes of chance, randomness, the boundary between manual and mechanical labor, and labor itself. The method of building images based on random number instructions eliminates hesitation arising during the creative process, reflecting unconscious and pure actions. Just as mechanically drawn lines develop their own unique expressions, I create to reexamine the mundane routines of daily life.
