It seems that only after something brightly illuminating goes out can we fully face the subject. In remembering, it seems we confront the afterimage when things we couldn’t see while facing the subject remain only in the optic nerve and can’t be touched or felt. -In the studio in 2022- <Lantern> is a work that visualizes a lantern. The work was made by assembling parts that were output from 3D printing and processed resin parts, painted parts using car paint, and acrylic parts through laser cutting after processing stainless steel, aluminum CNC, MCT CNC, and MCT after anodizing. The lantern is divided into the upper part where the light is shining, the middle part which is the body, and the lower part which is the base. Among them, three parts need to be focused on in the upper part. Looking from the bottom of the upper part, there is a cylindrical shape made of aluminum with a wick shape, and around it, there is a shape of the afterglow of light supporting the roof of the upper part and the shape of the smoke flying located in the middle under the roof of the upper part. The artist wanted to visualize the regretful emotions that the artist could not achieve the goal he was going forward with his friend at that time with the smoke flying after the lantern went out and the afterglow of light still remaining in the eye.
