Motorcycle HELMET
This work is a single-piece creation that projects the production practice of UNDULATION onto a pre-existing functional object: a vintage-style jet helmet. The helmet, chosen as the support, functions both as an object to be painted and as a receptacle that absorbs the passage of time and the artist's inner state. The repetition of up to 30 layers of paint coating materializes not merely a process, but the very sedimentation of emotion and memory itself.
Purple / Orange / Green / Yellow… Layers of circulating color interpenetrate, interfere, or create discontinuities, forming a complex composition that dwells on the boundary between control and chance. Though no explicit symbolism or narrative is imposed, the images emerging on the surface connect with each viewer's inner world, evoking a subjective perception.
The visual experience of this work is not fixed. The relationships between color layers fluctuate in response to changes in light source, distance, and viewpoint, creating a state perceived as containing a continuous sense of movement despite being static. This very fluctuation visually and physically embodies the "undulation" at the core of the concept UNDULATION.
This work is not intended to be categorized within the framework of customization. It exists as an art piece that approaches completion only when worn and used, traversing the ambiguous territory between products designed for practical use and artworks. The themes of "uncertainty of boundaries" and "narratives inherent in layers" that UNDULATION has continuously explored are presented here in their most condensed form.
