about

Unstoppable is a collection of my ongoing illustrations that continue to evolve across different media and planes. The characters exist primarily within the pages of my sketchbook, where they emerge through an intuitive and exploratory process. The randomness of their gestures and emotions does not yet fully make sense to me; instead, it is the chaos and exaggeration within them that define their identity and presence.

I enjoy illustrating these characters and discovering how they behave and interact. In many ways, they reflect my emotional state of spontaneity and impulse, while also embodying a connection to those who feel isolated, abnormal, or who yearn for escapism. Through their exaggerated forms and expressions, the characters become a space for emotional release and imagination.

This particular hanging sculpture features depictions of these illustrations translated into a physical form. By placing the work outdoors, I wanted to observe how Unstoppable would transform and interact with its environment, allowing the characters to extend beyond the sketchbook and activate the space they inhabit.
