  Everything is uncertain. There is nothing fixed. Life radiates and oscillates infinitely between something and something else, so nobody knows what is right. There are unlimited possibilities in the world and even the past is indefinite. I believe in parallel worlds that retain limitless possibilities of space and time, which are expressed as overlapping planes and layers in my paintings. I explore these possibilities and uncertainty by layering time and space.

  'Artist's Sister in Traversing Light' is about exploring the light coming from left and the planes of multiple realities it traverses. They consist of the plane where the artist’s sister, who is the closest person to the artist, is leaning on, the patterned plane that is a bit ripped off, the round blue plane with a chair which was at a strange place the artist would never visit again, another reality of mysterious hand coming from the back of the blue plane, and even the plane of abstract red strokes. The artist mixed her most familiar elements, her sister and mysterious hand which is her repetitive metaphor of 'reaching out,' with the unfamiliar elements of newly created patterns on the yellow plane and the chair. The result is the mixture of the various space and time, creating a novel reality with her own perspective; the painting itself. The painting is to explore diverse possibilities that are expressed as planes.
