Artist Profile:
The concept of the works and the artist's thoughts on their creation are structured as a study on "the conditions of existence in a container." The theme is "variability."

This work was created as an extension of the previous "World Where Water Inverts" series. Starting from the state of fish existence in different containers, it deals with water spaces generated by multiple containers such as aquariums, ponds, and goldfish bags. Each container forms a unique boundary, and through light refraction and spatial distortion, it creates differences in the conditions for the formation of vision.

What the viewer confronts is not merely the appearance of fish, but a temporary image that arises from the relationship between fish, water, and container. Water, as a variable medium, takes on states such as flow, compression, diffusion, and stagnation, while dismantling the stability of the image and continuously swaying perception.
