The Path of the Umbilical Cord

"I am fascinated by exploring the relationship between my own body and the elements of nature


I tried to capture the origin of life and the deep connection between individuals. This is not only my observation of the structure of the human body, but also my thoughts on the emotional bond between human & nature, human & human. In my exploration of family bonds, I bring in my personal experiences as well as my feelings, conveying my complex understanding of life and emotions, and my sensitive perceptions of individuals and their position in the family. Overall, I use my personal feelings and issues as a starting point to explore the relationship between the individual, the family, nature, and society."

This project is an exploration that attempts to capture the origin and cycle of life. Using tree branches as a medium, I used a series of experiments to merge the artificial with the natural, presenting an abstract form of expression that shows the connection between individuals and the relationship between humans and nature. I created a branch installation inspired by navels and umbilical cords, attaching nails and aluminium wires to the branches to convey an understanding of the tree as a rooted and belonging object.

I drew circles around myself on the grass, trying to find a sense of belonging and a comfort zone, and at the same time establishing an intimate connection with nature and thinking about the meaning of existence. The circle represents the cycle of life, and the drawing of the circle represents the boundary. This action is not only a positioning of the individual in the space but also a questioning of the infinite repetition in the cycle of life.
