​

Michelangelo saw an angel in a cold marble stone.

I see 'light' through a filter called glass and a piece surrounding it.

​​

Recognizing the reality but not being able to touch it... But what exists is light.
Meeting the perfect light is only given to some and requires patience. 
Like a bricklayer who carefully stacked bricks one by one in a small rural village long ago to reach God, I also collect shadows one by one, match them with the glass, and draw light on the walls and floor.
If you think about the shape work that connects misaligned pieces and lines that do not meet with hot soldering and the light work that selects and cuts colored glass to emit light, it is a very heterogeneous and arduous work, but it is delightful to imagine a ray of light shining slightly in a dark space. It's work.
Drawing shapes freely by aligning shadow lines with hot soldering feels like a different world from selecting colored glass and illuminating it with light. 
However, these two works mysteriously have opposing charms in which one is highlighted while the other is hidden in an inseparable relationship. As the light becomes clearer, the shape becomes blurred, and as the shape becomes more transparent, the light hides again. But there are moments when these two come together perfectly. The invisible light suddenly appears at that moment, and the form embraces the light within it. At that moment when the perfect light illuminates both, time seems to have stopped.
It is a moment when a moment becomes an eternity.
