"Which War Is It From?" depicts a synthetic plaster brain mounted on a dark canvas panel as if caught during a violent deflagration. The artwork captures the crash of a brain—metaphorically representing the apex of a psychological disorder—turning the framed space into an inner battlefield. The title itself questions the origins of this conflict, evoking both the devastating violence of ongoing global warfare and the trauma inflicted upon individuals.
The work stems from the solo exhibition "Enjoy My Brain" (January 2026), a project exploring the contemporary perception of people seen not as human beings, but as brains operating within an imposed social laboratory. The core message is that the devastated mind searches for liberation to escape standardization, external violence, and the consequent annihilation, through self-investigation and a vertical dialogue with the Sky to reclaim an authentic identity. And peace.
