My artwork explores the interrelationship between viruses and human lives. Inspired by the artist Chiharu Shiota’s artwork “Me, Somewhere Else,” I combined different coloured wool strings with objects in the house which are connected with water. Then I made a series of images called “Virus Entrance.”
I always think that if the glacial melting cannot be controlled, various kinds of viruses from glaciers will be reborn, which may affect our daily lives.
I use wool strings in distinct colours to express this topic. In this way, the strings are symbols of water and the assorted colours of them represent the viruses. Through both, I want to raise the consciousness of people ABOUT the climate crisis.
