This project named from Odysseus by Homer, yet the images were inspired under Rene Magritte’s influence.
I consider of viewers whose imagination would be more flexible than artist ourselves, in terms of intensity towers joy rather than creation or competition.
When they see art work, their point of view and mind are more open than us, in order to absorb something different from their usual life which we easily forget. So they see things in differently in which sense can be reflected back into our imagination unconsciously, like a butterfly effect.
Thus I cut up main subject to let viewer find or imagine something or even nothing in their mind for new creation, it returns us after a while or even decade after. We sometimes, even always, think nothing or internally be messed up, but absorb from nature or unusual even trash in which sense we used to have in our childfood.
We started making tiny piece of art for our joy, and found that art can change our internal world at least.
