Alter Conviction
3 min read
My artwork is often based upon nature; most recently related to plants. In the past, I aspired to imbue my creations with messages to the world going as far as targeting a specific audience to understand my thoughts. Now I am simply enjoying my creativity and skills while growing through various processes. I'm excited about all the new challenges to come.
Striving for dramatic progress, I applied tremendous efforts so that my artwork would bear a mark of distinction.
"Breaking your own rules can only bring new creativity." "If I stay in lukewarm water, it begins to feel like stagnation." "Need ideas that are completely new for the next piece." "Can't fail, it would be the end of the world..."
I'm still tough on my creativity but if I let go, there's no fun in it.
I'm getting more and more attuned with wild nature. So symbiotic with animals, I've begun to feel like one of them. I've ceased caring about what's going on in society and am no longer interested in spending time and effort to take part in the world anymore.
My workshop is my world. Being on the side of nature and animals in my world. Humans will eventually destroy all wild nature and I'm left with no optimistic hope for it. There is no message that will stop us from making modern life convenience a priority stemmed from desire, need, power, and greed.
An important individual once said to me, "Yes, we might not ever save them, but you can't live like an asshole!" I still put a lot of effort into leaving a smaller ecological footprint but I don't want to spend exhaustive energy fighting the opposition. I'd rather spend quality time with allies for the time we all have left. I appreciate and prefer the beauty, uniqueness and unbelievable functionalities of the creatures in wild nature. I will never even get close to their level of creativity but I enjoy studying them and I like the child's play of working them into my art.

The exploration in my life experience of observation has awakened parts within me which I believe to be instinctual fantasies of nature. The theme of these artworks is this aspect of nature, exposed through myself into the work. I also believe that we are all able to find the fantasy of nature in our minds, and merge and develop it with our instincts and personal experiences into some visual essence of beauty.
Every shape is made up of a combination of simple lines and curves. Three dimensional objects have an infinite potential of directions for these lines and curves. Further applied, we see that all life and objects around us, such as thread, eggshells, feathers, branches, hair, and every texture, are all just a varied combination of lines and curves set into organized forms.
We are able to appreciate the essence of beauty in any kind of environment, when we see a certain familiar combination drawn from natural organization. When we find this essence, we spend vast amounts of time and effort to experience and absorb as many facets within it as possible, probing deeper beneath the initial layers to find what is secretly hidden inside.
Many of these objects, which we perceive and investigate, are actually very logical, tangible structures. Yet when we apply this point of view to the entire universe it becomes much more complicated, even abstract. It is through the meticulous detail in my art that I attempt to show objects that are often easily passed off and taken for granted as common day materials, and their infinite potential and uniqueness.
