Each person has negative emotions, such as rebellion, personal worries, and complex feelings that we don't want to talk about with others.
Through my paintings, I want to "alter" the impressions and memories of those moments, so that those negative emotions can become even slightly more positive.

◯Why falsify? If a sad event occurs that causes negative emotions, I thought there were two ways to move on from it.
The first is to forget about it by immersing yourself in something or traveling.
The second is to transform the negative emotion into another emotion.
The former is an escape from reality and does not confront the underlying problem of negative emotions, and therefore does not provide a fundamental solution.
The latter does not eliminate negative emotions, but rather rewrites them "slightly." Even if you can hide sad things now by leaving them as sad, when you remember them someday, you will feel just as sad. Therefore, by confronting negative emotions and transforming the past into paintings, you can create the illusion that they are not negative memories, and the sadness will be alleviated when you remember them.

◯ Why report "altered" information? There are two reasons.
One reason is that when it is converted into words, there is already a gap between the emotion and the image. Words are merely a means, a substitute, of communication. Therefore, from the beginning, I am not concerned with conveying all of the emotions and memories of the scene to the viewer.
The second reason is that even if we ourselves are sad and feeling negative emotions, we don't want others to sense those negative parts. Or, we want to look good to others. I think this is what modern social media society makes us do. To our friends and acquaintances on Instagram and Twitter, we only show pictures of our fun trips, expensive meals, and the pretty, edited and filtered side of ourselves. When we accumulate and display only those images, it's as if that is all there is to that person.
This is because they can maintain their self-esteem by showing only beautiful, altered things to other people (viewers).
I believe that the new interpretations that emerge from the "alteration" of converting the work into paintings, and communicating these to viewers, help me sublimate my negative emotions.
