ARTIST'S INTERPRETATION

The sculptures that I create are always volumes of matter which reveal, in their crevices, fragments of the human body. The idea that matter is occupied by something human is more difficult to perceive than the idea that we are made of matter. It seems to me that scientists' and philosophers' views on matter and its origins go in this direction. In the case of the sculpture in the Olympic Park of Seoul, it is a column, which stands like the unique element of a monument which has disappeared. But, is it the movement of the bodies which has dislocated the column or is it a catastrophe which has shaken the material and thus liberated the bodies? This is what I have no found out yet.
