Self portrait with anthropomorphic characters in metamorphosis
I use animal character to represent myself. I created a fantasy world where animal spirits surround me and interact with me in spiritual way. Fox wears clothes and sit in the same pose with me. Fox symbolizes adaptation. Because fox has an ability to survive in urban villages as well as different environment. The fox’s flexible adaptation inspires me to imagine that humans are also adapting to the world that is changing rapidly due to technology such as AI and multicultural environments. I expressed Shamanism that is praying through animal spirits. The transformation between fox and humans are represented through the fabric that is tied from my portraits back to foxs neck.
