[생명의 은유로서의 스피어] 새로운 탄생은 비로소 완전체가 깨어짐으로써 시작되고 이어진다. 깨어지고 결합되고, 다시 흩어지고 모이고, 변화하는 혼돈(chaos) 속에 작업의 핵심이 있으며, 그것은 크고 작은 구체들을 분해하고 다시 붙여나가 다양한 결과물을 얻어내는 매우 흥미로운 과정이다. 가장 완벽하고 단순한 기하학적인 형태가 가장 많은 것을 품고 있다는 명제, 이 매력적인 역설(paradox)은 너무나 익숙한 이 동그란 모양을 내가 늘 쓰다듬는 이유이다.

[Sphere as Metaphore of Life] Only when the whole is broken is another life born and can the whole continue to be connected. The essence of my work lies in the chaos of being broken, united, dissected, combined, and altered. This is a very interesting process to get diverse output by disassembling spheres, big and small, and assembling again. The proposition is that the most perfect and simplest geometric form embraces more than anything else. This charming paradox is the reason that I caress this sphere, with which I am so familiar all the time.
