Synopsis

Reflecting on my lifelong art education, I realized that fixed, stereotyped concepts were instilled at every stage, becoming internalized beliefs that have long influenced my art and thought. I adopted the concept of ‘detachment’, rooted in Zen, meaning the letting go of attachment to theories, opinions, and preconceived ideas. I believe art shouldn’t be confined by rigid modes or theories; artists should be true to their inner needs and find fitting forms of expression. I expressed this evolution of awareness through animation.
