Translating the experiences and memories of walking through the mountains and forests into artwork, each time I set foot on a trail, it's not just an encounter with the natural environment but also the beginning of a narrative. Using stream-of-consciousness and narrative techniques, these photographs, ink paintings, and installation art depict the feelings of the mountains and forests. The middle work, "Mountain Walk," weaves the path through my body's memories, feelings, and the natural environment. The mountain silhouette on the right is a collection of photographs taken along the way, arranged according to a psychological rhythm. The two works resonate with each other, forming a visual and sensory memory field. Every climb is a challenge for me. The layers and bends of the mesh resemble the time I experience during the climb. I experience conflicting emotions, a mixture of pain and joy. Standing at the summit, I wonder if I'll ever challenge the next mountain again. The mountain holds a certain magic; it quietly exists, silently beckoning me. This creates a silent dialogue, reflecting my inner thoughts. I tell myself to become stronger, to enjoy the journey more, and to set goals for the next time. While walking in the woods, I often engage in inner monologues, a technique used to express stream of consciousness. The fatigue I feel, the beauty I see, and the emotions accumulating within me are transformed into notes, which appear in the woods. These fragmented notes reveal the discontinuity of my thoughts. These words are memories and expressions of emotions (fatigue, anxiety, irritability, surprise, joy, etc.), like a fleeting inner monologue while walking in the woods, quietly appearing in the shadows of the trees. The viewer's shadow is reflected in the forest, as if entering the time and space I was in at the time and embarking on their own journey.
