Artist’s statement : Each of us cannot be separated from our position in a culture
where we have arrived. A culture that continuously experiences change, whether
in the form of incurturation or acculturation, however advanced and civilized a
culture or culture that respects fellow human beings still leaves something that
most people consider uncivilized. A culture of fighting, attacking each other, or
eliminating each other. This is certainly part of the situations that humans always
face in their existence. In this case, fighting is part of human instinct, fighting as
a game and humans as players playing the game. However, the problem today is
that we often use a game as a mode to control our opponent. Not a game as a
will or a thought to play.
