Whilst I was studying at Kookmin in 2012, I was invited by a fellow Artist from Japan to submit work for an international art exhibition in a city four hours away. It was an exciting and very nerve wracking experience.
The process was driven by my mindset at the time, I was deeply anxious and depressed despite trying to have a great time in such a mind opening and stimulating place. I tried hard to conceal my mood disturbances by putting a mask on and this artwork shows both sides. The order and the chaos!
