A human being is far from the perfection, and it will never be perfect. However, modern people experience agony, frustration, and hope in their search for perfection from the thin border between ‘perfection’ and ‘imperfection’ that were drawn with limited perspectives from their past knowledge and experiences.

With the combination of these internal feelings, human being experiences the internal malaise. These experiences are defined as a series of ‘fever’, and visualized as unrealistic images within the works. In other words, the best and the worst parts of human nature, such as confusion, agony, and love are described as ‘the lump of fever,’ in this work, and it is also considered as immature for it is easily destroyed and changed as time goes by. Therefore, the images layered within the art works are created with the methods like cumulating, destroying, creating and demolishing, and which are represented in the abstract images.

The modern society pursuing the ‘perfection’, and the modern people that merely chasing the ‘perfection’. Finding the internal conflict and the vulnerability in the hidden side of the modern people, and extending the substantial meaning of the human nature are the fundamental intents of this work, and these are also the process of growing the art works.
