Artist’s Statement:
The image of the labyrinth is used to illustrate a tough problem or something that is not solved easily. To symbolize this, I have been making my own labyrinths, carved into the sides of ceramic cubes. The process is like a meditation to me, causing me to be immersed in my activities. Concentrating on my work in this way makes me feel purified. I wanted to contain the traces and memories of the past, and I wanted to put this moment that we live and breathe into my cubes. I made the cubes with labyrinth, and thought about me and the things that lock me up. The labyrinth on the cubes might only exist in my mind.
