My practice is grounded in an interest in how new forms of expression emerge when materials are shifted into different contexts through repetitive processes.
My earlier engagement with hand weaving embodied this process. I was particularly drawn to the structure by which a single thread, through repetition, transitions into fabric—a surface operating on a different dimensional level.
Currently, rather than relying on established techniques, I design the unit itself and take responsibility for its repetition. Through this approach, I position material not as an expressive element, but as a unit that begins to function within a structure.
My work does not aim to express emotions or inner states. Instead, I explore the moment when “unit–repetition–structure” begins to give rise to an object on its own terms. At the same time, I do not attempt to eliminate the inherent variations of the material entirely; rather, I examine how much difference can be permitted while still remaining within a unit that can be structurally designed.
Engaging with these questions through the framework of “unit–repetition–structure” constitutes, for me, a process of negotiation and collaboration with the material, as well as one of governance and management.
