Title : The Liminal Beast
Year of production2026
Materials : stone clay, acrylic gouache
DimensionsH81 × W40 × D9 cm

Description:

A beast stands at the boundary—between good and evil, pleasure and pain, acceptance and rejection. It guards, yields, and sometimes indulges. Breathing the scent of life, this monster quietly weighs what to let in and what to keep out, living within every heart in changing shape.

Artist Statement:

I create living creatures that are neither human nor beast.
They are formed by combining human elements with real animals and giving shape to my emotions.
I cherish shaping them while considering their morphology, so they can exist in this world.
