About "Images in the Mind"

To suggest that we are unable to capture the objects of the physical world as permanent images in the mind does not mean that we don't attempt the impossible act. On the contrary, it seems that, regardless of our success, we are constantly longing to preserve the past. This work reveals this desire. My goal is to represent not what eyes can see and what is physically happening, but what the mind sees. A photograph can capture a moment of movement in space that recreates an image left in the mind; the image, a "vanishing presence," is preserved like an unspoken thought. The present work is an attempt to capture the continuous movement of a figure, so that change and permanence are simultaneously framed as movement standing still.
