I come from a society rooted in "WE" and have arrived in a society driven by "I." Only now am I beginning to fully understand this. Here, there is no "WE," only "ME." Yet, my "WE" has travelled with me. To truly integrate, I am expected to abandon my "WE" and embrace an "I"—to become an individual. But what does that mean? Will my "WE" die in the process? Must I die and be reborn? I must find my "ME" within the "WE," here and now, though the journey is often solitary. This search begins within myself, an effort to create and recreate a sense of self. I strive to observe life closely, trying to find myself anew—in the in-between spaces, the togetherness, the separations, and the depths within.
Rediscovering oneself in the unknown takes time and careful observation. This journey of self-exploration is never truly complete because each answer leads to new questions. It is from these cycles of searching, finding, and searching again that life emerges. True life is concealed within the small moments, the brief stories we often overlook. For ten years, I have kept a diary. This practice has been a vital form of introspection, a tool that helps me navigate my dreams, emotions, and memories. Through writing, I am able to feel alive and stave off the fear of fading away. It has become a form of therapy—essential to my well-being. On the days when I do not write, I sense something missing, a fear that I might forget those small, precious moments. Through revisiting these memories, I reaffirm my existence, my joys and sorrows. These entries serve as a bridge to my emotions, a connection that allows me to respect and accept my feelings. Only when I am in harmony with these emotions can I fully harness their power. My current aim is to deepen this engagement with myself and share it with others. In speaking about my personal journey, I find that I reconnect my "ME" with the "WE"—and in doing so, I give a part of the "WE" back to each individual. When an audience is present, there is always a shared moment of self-awareness. The essence of my work is to explore the relationship between life and death. In this exploration, characters are born—representations of conscious and unconscious thought. Through them, I aim to make tangible the experiences, motivations, hopes, and conflicts that define human existence. I invite you to accompany me on this journey into the self. Immerse yourself, observe, feel, and reflect.
