Creator's Perspective
Memory is like a kaleidoscope. The kaleidoscope is full of beautiful little colored stones.
I exist in the world of Hexagonal Kaleidoscope and form countless networks in it.
Patterns and patterns overlap, and another order is created so we can think of stability,
peace and the future. I feel nostalgia, comfort, reliability and healing through my precious childhood memories. As time goes by, clear and pure memories of those days are getting faded, the mind and the body is exhausted, but through memories can gain power beyond their limits, so memories of childhood are the most precious things it seems to be settled. With this mind, I began to put that memory into one space.
The main material in my work, sterling silver, reminds me of a side of our returning days
like a pure child. The technique of sawing used in my work means rules and repetitive action, representing hope as a result of repetitive life actions through the process of patience and effort made one by one.
