Outside the Window I，40x40cm，Ink on Paper, 2020
In 2020, due to the pandemic, we have a sense of unknown and strange activity in our living environment. The distance between each other has become the norm and we are involuntarily helpless. The materials I can find during quarantine are brushes, ink and paper. I try to express my inner feelings. I can only see the outside world through the window. What kind of work can I make with the most traditional tools?
