moooom began not as a project, but as a pause. During a stretch of time off, I felt the urge to make something for myself. I experimented with whatever was close at hand, moving through small trials and fragments of ideas. Eventually, I arrived at scraps of paper I had cut away. I began to wonder why these fragments held my attention, so I kept cutting, without any predetermined pattern, gradually discovering forms that felt unexpectedly compelling. The process stirred vague memories of childhood; shapes once drawn absentmindedly, figures assembled without knowing why. The more I looked, the more absorbed I became, until the questions surfaced: ‘What is this?’ or perhaps, ‘What is it not?’ From that ongoing inquiry emerged a series of works that have continues to evolve under the name moooom.
In the ‘people people’ series, I approached the process from the opposite direction, testing the possibilities of shape and form through the human body, where gestures and postures are distilled into geometric structures and abstract configurations.
