“The Silent Orders” is an attempt to visualize the dominant structures that permeate our world. I believe that the world is shaped by invisible orders—irresistible, systematized forces. It is so deeply ingrained in our daily lives that we accept it as “natural” without even noticing its existence.
In this work, I use AI to depict a “society” where such invisible forces have become the order of the day. I present the aura of how silent structures of domination direct our thoughts and senses. I am working on creating visuals that exist on the boundary between the visible and the invisible. The fluctuations of emotions that cannot be put into words, vague memories that linger, and unexplained feelings of discomfort. These are things that fall outside the scope of everyday vision, but I believe that it is precisely there that the depths of vision lie.
I see my work not just as something to be looked at, but as an experience that affects the viewer's inner world. I want to pull the viewer into my world, confuse them, silence them, and make them stand still. That's because I think it's a strong immersion and the start of a conversation.
I use image-generating AI in my work. The reason for this is not because of the technical possibilities, but because it allows me to visualize the tension and deviation that arise between my inner self and the AI. Even when I pose a question, the AI does not always respond as I expect. Rather, something seeps out from the gaps in control. That “distorted response” surprises me and leads me to the next image.
I do not seek explanatory clarity in my work. This is because I want meaning to be a catalyst that evokes the viewer's memories and emotions, rather than something fixed. At that moment, the work leaves me and begins to live as “something” within the viewer. I create for the sake of that space.
This is visual art, and at the same time, a psychological experience device. I will continue to present these ambiguous yet certain sensations as images rather than words. Because I believe there are things that can only be seen by confusing the viewer."
