Description

Ocean Planet With Three Suns II continues my conceptual exploration of the imaginary ocean planet introduced in the Sea of Three Suns series. Rather than depicting the experience within the ocean, this work observes the planet itself as an independent world shaped by light, water, and crystalline structures. Created with oil paint and UV-reactive pigments, the painting further investigates how heavily layered surfaces respond to changing light. The textured impasto captures subtle variations of color, shadow, and reflection that shift according to the angle of illumination, allowing the painting to transform continuously in the viewer’s perception. The crystalline forms surrounding the planet are not decorative elements but symbolic structures that suggest the relationship between light, matter, and memory. Together with the ocean planet, they create an imagined universe where multiple suns, water, and crystal coexist within the same visual language. This work represents an important stage in my ongoing exploration of light as both a physical phenomenon and a conceptual medium, laying the foundation for my later investigations into crystal, memory, and the preservation of invisible existence.

Artist Note

[Ocean Planet With Three Suns II] When I began this series, I often imagined an ocean planet with three suns. At the time, I was working on another piece inspired by snowflake-like forms. One day, exhausted from working, I closed my eyes for a moment and slipped into a lucid dream somewhere between dreaming and waking reality. Dreams often possess a beauty and richness of imagination that surpass reality. In that dream, an ocean planet with three suns appeared as a blue orb, drifting among snowflake-like forms and lights. Dreams exist in a space and time far removed from reality, even when I attach no particular meaning to them. This dream belongs to the world of my unconscious mind, where light, color, and form fascinate me and blur the boundary between dream and reality. It is a journey into my hidden inner world, and there, I am free. In this moment, you too may be free from everything that binds you. Alohomora!
