From the artist…

When I gaze at a perfectly ripe peach, I often think about that fleeting moment when the fruit is at its absolute sweet spot. It makes me wonder if this is nature's way of reaching a peak, much like how humans experience fulfillment in achieving their goals. However, this drive toward ripeness is not always organic. It is often fueled by the societal pressures that demand constant improvement and the need to stand out. We are taught to measure our worth through achievement, to chase the goal rather than savor the journey. This focus on pushing ourselves toward the summit can overshadow the process itself, shifting attention away from the value of growth and learning.

The core intention of this show is to emphasize /// process ///. Reflecting the tension between the desire for excellence and the underlying ache for validation, as well as between external markers of success and the quieter, more elusive moments of personal fulfillment.
