ARK
Ark describes a time when we had a front row seat where it seemed that we could see everything yet it felt as if we were seeing nothing at all. Over the years I’ve found fewer and fewer animals when I go out into nature to look at this or to film that. In the last year I haven’t found any wild animals and I’ve rarely heard any birds. So where have all the other animals gone? What has happened to them and what is going to happen to us? The human niche or ecological polis of human society has…

Radius
From my perspective any place can be seen as sacred. I believe you can become so familiar with a place that you can feel the sacred in every aspect of its land, air and water. The more familiar I become with a place the more I tend to fall in love with it and in turn many of its truths are revealed. On March 31, 2022 my life partner Cheryl passed away in hospice. In April I decided to make a pilgrimage to places near our house where we enjoyed taking walks after moving to the village in October of…

Hier und Dort
Since I arrived here in Germany from Korea, I always find myself in the unlearning situation. While I encounter completely different cultures, languages, situations, I have had to throw away a lot of what I have already learned and at the same time take away a lot of what I need to learn anew. I am already a learned person, but at the same time an unlearned person here.

Possible or if possible
The facial expressions disintegrate in a similar way. The fragments come together again and become a new facial expression. Only the look remains. The facial expression often represents the lie or moves away from the truth. (Just as a laugh does not represent only happiness and crying does not represent only sadness) In this process, I tried to create a new facial expression by arbitrarily arranging the beginning and end of the expressions.

Close your eyes, eyes, eyes
That you see with closed eyes may be visible or invisible. Distinguish between possibilities and cognitions. Occasionally an object and at times, an event. May be future or a place, eyes/snow, wind, or sometimes time and aspiration, sweat and periodically desire, or the remains of those. Distinguish the difference between enabling and cognition.
