Do you suffer from anxiety in the midst of a pandemic? Where does your anxiety come from? How do you deal with your anxiety? I am one of the people who are deeply affected psychologically by the pandemic. I am plagued with anxiety about my out-of-control life, my self-existence and the health of my loved ones. I want to provide a mind space for myself, and in my work for the audience to meet face-to-face with their inner emotions. We look at the world outside through the window and at the same time we are looking at ourselves. The window constructs a mental world that reflects the external reality, while at the same time constructing the inner life for us. When our body is isolated, consciousness is infinitely magnified and the window becomes the mediator that carries it. Through the window as a 'body' of mind, my practice visualizes the anxiety I felt during the pandemic and creates an emotional connection with the audience through an immersive experience.
