There are scribble-like drawings in every corner of my notebook that I can’t even remember when I drew them. Interestingly, they all showed similar patterns. I drew points, connected them with lines, and overlapped them to make planes. It’s like They seemed to be independent and connected to each other. Like the atmosphere of space. Why did I draw these pictures? Why am I constantly interested and thinking about this topic? Then suddenly, I was strongly drawn to the thought, ‘What shape would human emotions take?’

This reflection led me to my childhood. My mother opened a sketchbook and drew dots with a pencil. The dots were close and far, scattered randomly. The game was to connect the dots with lines to make triangles, and write one’s initials inside the triangles. I pondered how to connect the dots, imagining the shapes and sizes of the triangles. The dots filled the sketchbook like stars, and the countless triangles connected by lines were like planets floating in the universe. I enjoyed this game so much that I filled a whole sketchbook. Maybe that’s why. I was fascinated by the planet B-612 in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s “The Little Prince”, and I felt affection for the circle in Shel Silverstein’s “The Missing Piece?”. And I loved drawing with a geometric compass shaped like a gear. I still have an interest in the shapes of things, architecture, and space. The emotions I feel from them are very deep and special. Maybe my geometry of emotions are intertwined with the pieces of memories from the past. 

My work is expressed by point and line to plane. A point is the source of emotion, a line is the flow of emotion, and a plane is the collection of emotion. I connect the traces and complexity of emotion with the work. I apply printmaking techniques to different materials and geometrically arrange the puzzle pieces. It is also my own way of looking at emotion objectively. I am experimenting with the shapes of emotion and this exhibition is the first step of that experiment. I would like to suggest the coordinates and journey of discovering the geometry of emotion through this exhibition.
