    Message for God | 2015

In the work Message for God, I synchronized the hole and the idea with metaphor. I tried to dialogue with God, which is why I chose horizontal surface. I’m using the purpose of dig to criticize my society through my artwork. In my society, extremism appeared very strongly over the last decade. Being an artist I don’t believe in extremism, but when behavior becomes unnatural or extraordinary, it starts to defect the value & purpose of human. For instance, terrorism… murder on the name of God. This is unnatural behavior when divine becomes more then divinity, and at that time the notion of divine becomes invalid. It created a void in my society. In “Message for God” I metaphorically manifest my message, that the purpose and value of human becoming worthless.
