I’ve always been fascinated by how we collect images in a digital society—treating them as though they carry a physical weight, holding onto them as if they were tangible. This curiosity led me to explore the darker corners of the web, a space where cultural taboos are often confronted and navigated. In this context, the act of collecting kisses became a powerful metaphor for control or possession. Yet, when displayed as a curated collection, it took on new dimensions, transforming into something both intimate and voyeuristic.
Another theme I delved into was the hypnotic repetition of GIFs—endlessly looping, capturing a moment that replays forever. This tied into the imagery inspired by "open 24 hours," a piece symbolizing perpetual accessibility and permanence. It also hinted at a kind of red-light performance—a space where intimacy intersects with display and consumption.
To be kissed is to experience love, intimacy, or connection. But what happens when kisses are collected in a digital realm—a space where they can be stored, replayed, and immortalized infinitely? How does this shift the fleeting, deeply personal nature of a kiss into something eternal yet detached, stripped of its original context? These questions drive my exploration of love, memory, and the transformation of intimacy in the digital age.
