Semiconductors have a history deeply rooted in quantum mechanics—they were understood and developed through it.
In other words, semiconductors are one of the most tangible and impactful applications of quantum mechanics in our daily lives.
Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that describes the behavior of matter at extremely small scales, such as atoms and molecules.
While it is a fundamental theory widely used across various fields, many of the phenomena that emerge in the quantum realm are deeply counterintuitive and strange.
To this day, the interpretation of these phenomena remains an open question and continues to be the subject of extensive philosophical debate.
I became interested in quantum mechanics during high school and went on to study the theory in depth at university.
This academic background became the foundation of my artistic practice.
Among the many strange phenomena in quantum mechanics, I am particularly drawn to the universal question: "What does it mean to exist?"
Through my work, I aim to explore and present this question from the perspective of physics, grounded in my own experience.
The quantum world operates at a scale far beyond human perception, yet everything around us—objects, nature, even our own bodies—is composed of quantum particles.
By introducing a quantum perspective that delves into the structure of our reality, I hope to offer viewers an experience that shifts how they perceive the world.
Fundamental science, including quantum mechanics, is not originally meant to serve technology—it exists to pursue truth.
While the pursuit of technological advancement, convenience, and profit is certainly important, I believe there is equal value in the pure intellectual curiosity that drives us to update our understanding of concepts.
In that sense, both fundamental science and art share the same richness.
