Description | When I shower, I see a mirror that’s slightly bent, and it warps whatever it reflects into a strange, misshapen ball. I sometimes pretend I’m holding that warped ball, captivated by how reality can be so easily distorted. I was curious about how this happened. There’s something magical about encountering a warped reality in everyday life—it sparks a sense of wonder and imagination. I’ve always been drawn to illusions, and Roger Penrose’s concept of ‘impossibility in its purest form’ deeply resonates with me. My work is inspired by Surrealist artist René Magritte, who places familiar objects in unexpected, dream-like settings. Magritte plays with illusion and challenges the way we perceive the world, turning everyday scenes into something extraordinary. His work, like the bent mirror, reminds me that reality can be flexible, playful, and full of surprises. |
