[Artwork Statement]
TABITON is a world of strange travelers who came to Earth from distant worlds to explore unknown territories. GYU is one of TABITON's original characters.

I chose GYU for this exhibition because he was among the first characters I created for TABITON, and because he has always remained important within that world. Through this handmade original work, I wanted to look at him once again.

[SOMSOC ART SHOW 2026]
SOMSOC ART SHOW is an annual art event organized by SOMSOC GALLERY. It creates new encounters and exchanges through art, offering a place where everyone can engage freely with works of art.

This year's theme is “One Artist, One Character.” Each artist condenses a character representing their current practice and worldview into one A4-sized work. Whether a figure, an abstract symbol, or an embodiment of the spirit, each character is a small universe reflecting the artist's aesthetic and ideas. Diverse expressions gather in Harajuku, where their individual worlds intersect.
