In Extremis series

This series records subtle transformations that appear just before material objects lose their function.

Electronic devices such as cameras, card readers, and computers sometimes produce temporary noise, errors, or unpredictable images immediately before they cease to operate. Rather than treating these fleeting moments as an ending, the work approaches them as a state of transition.

This perspective emerged from the artist's experience of witnessing the final moments of a person's life. Although the body remained warm and breathing had ceased, what lingered most vividly was not death itself, but an indescribable interval just before all function disappeared.

The series extends this perception beyond living beings to material objects. Machines, too, reveal unexpected expressions in the moments before their function comes to an end. Through these fragile and imperfect states, the work considers the moment when presence begins to shift, observing the boundaries between life and death, function and cessation, and presence and absence.
