I stop my breath and draw in dark with my mind. Then, I press the shutter with the remote switch of the camera in my right hand and start brushing the light on the pre-made stage with the small lighting in my left hand. With the shorts of colors appearing at the moment the light shines, I make my story. Through such process, my passion and hardships in my early years are made into a piece of photo.
Anyone remembers turbulent memories by looking back to the past. I also lived a life which is not so peaceful. I changed from a scientist to an entrepreneur and while going through a number of new incorporations, I had to repeat many successes and failures. At that time, I thought I was the one who decides my life and looked only to the goal with my best effort. And, at that time, I could not understand myself unable to get out of the place. Accordingly, I now learned that I could not get out of the endless routine which repeated. Until then, I thought I was the main actor but when I found out that I was only a marionette confined within the structure of our society in the end, I could not help feeling empty.
This work is the second work in the four series which were for looking into myself and expressing myself, as a work in progress after changing myself once again to a photographer. Through the work, I intended to express such emotions and colors which I had seen, listened to and felt so far. For this, I constructed the necessary stage and adjusted the type of the lighting, directing of the light and the intensity of illumination to try various light paintings. All products did not rely
