Limbo is a theological hypothesis and one of the Catholic views of the afterlife. It refers to a state in which the souls of the dead have not attained the supreme bliss of seeing God in person (Heaven), but are not punished (Hell), and is introduced in Dante's ‘The Divine Comedy’ as the place where the protagonists meet after crossing the Acheron River, the boundary between this world and Hell. The souls in Limbo are in a very ambiguous situation, neither in Heaven nor in Hell. I was inspired by the ambiguous location of Limbo and applied it to the "connectivity and transformation between dimensions" that is the central theme of my current work, creating a "dimensional limbo" that mixes a "fixed reality" with a "metaphysical state" that has an infinitely changing nature. These two opposing states are not shown separately in the series of works, but as one. Like a photograph that 'captures' a moment in time, my 'dimensional limbo' can be said to 'capture' a state of being that is neither completely contained in metaphysical space nor completely free from the 'three-dimensional limits' of reality in space as a process of suspended motion.

In my work, the 'fixed reality' is represented by the appearance of common objects that exist in reality, such as tool cases, traffic cones, and TVs, while the 'metaphysical state' is represented by shapes that disperse in space in the form of a complex of planes and lines, which are actually not separate but one, and the process of their transformation into different dimensions is 'captured' like a photograph. To explain 'fixed reality' first, I believe that reality, or the three-dimensional world, has the property of 'limiting the possibility of change', while the two-dimensional plane, on the contrary, has 'many possibilities of change'. For example, a cup cannot turn into a butterfly in reality, but a pictorial cup on a two-dimensional plane can be "drawn" as a butterfly and many other things. As a drawing, it can be colorfully transformed, but as soon as the cup becomes three-dimensional, the possibilities for change are reduced to a very small number. There are only two options: shatter or stay the same. This ‘narrow choice nature’ of reality tends to make people's expectations and wishes lead to unexpected outcomes. And once an outcome is realized, it's impossible to go back to the way things were before it happened. It's like the lofty dreams we have when we're young, which are leveled down as we get older and learn about reality, but we can't go back to those lofty dreams. The common objects in my work are things that we often see around us, and in a way, they are nothing. Traffic cones, televisions, chairs, etc. are not rare or valuable in themselves, like jewelry. What is important is that these simple objects are the result of the transformation of a myriad of irregular lines and faces in this work. This imagery in my art shows how something that was in a state of infinite change, when it is actually realized, loses its diversity and is reduced to a simple result. Each series in the work shows a similar process of change in composition, but the colors are different. This is to express that although the nature of each change is different, the overall effect is the same: a change from an aggregate of lines and planes to a general object.
