"Division" is a contemporary schism that reflects the contradictions between one's thoughts and expressions. "Compromise," when used to describe an artwork, is also thoroughly derogatory, suggesting a lack of creativity and weak methodology: the attempt to innovate by merely reconciling fragments that cater to existing narratives. Both phenomena are common issues in contemporary art. However, my intention is not to criticize; instead, I am intrigued by the possibility that these two symptoms reveal a universal principle underlying cultural production.

In recent years, media and narrative have been my primary focus. The ongoing cycle of division and compromise is a tension inherent in the evolution of both media and story telling. The works in this exhibition address this tension and deliberately attempt to transform it into a methodology, using the forces of division and compromise as tools— both actively and with detachment.
