My practice is concerned with how the body is continuously shaped by visible and invisible forces. I often work with fragile, temporary, or responsive materials such as yarn, plastic film, flower foam, fabric, ink, and natural surfaces. These materials hold pressure, resist control, record touch, or transform through contact. In my work, plasticity is not only flexibility or adaptation, but also a condition of being formed by constraint, rupture, desire, and relation.

The submitted works connect to the exhibition concept of Plasticity through their attention to transformation under pressure. In works such as The Wall, participants release emotion into white- painted flower foam bricks, allowing soft material to register invisible weight as visible marks. In the Entrance Series, wooden frames, red yarn, canvas, and acrylic create threshold-like structures that invite viewers to enter, pass through, and reconsider the boundaries between external constraint and self-imposed limitation. In my plastic screen photographic work, bodies and spaces are seen through translucent surfaces, where visibility becomes softened, distorted, protected, and unstable.

Together, these works examine how materials, bodies, memories, and social realities are shaped through contact and resistance. They ask how we carry pressure, how forms reorganize themselves through relation, and how vulnerability can become a site of transformation rather than collapse.
