<People of ‘Black Dot’>
We, including myself, live in relationships with one another.
Concerns that stem from me eventually lead to relationships with others. Even if one wishes to be alone, it isn’t possible as we are always surrounded by someone. The artist expresses the feelings of emptiness and anxiety arising from various relationships connected to oneself, others, and the community.
The faceless figures of “black dots” represent me, you, or us. The different faces or facades created in one’s lifetime are all within in. A sense of relief yet emptiness of being intertwined with others is expressed through the postures of the anonymous black dot figure. The works of ‘Black Dot’ were first studied in the form of a crowd but it is now concentrated on the individual’s narrative.
