Description of art | The series “Our Sweet Home” created in 1993 consists of four works accompanied by the subtitles, “Excitement,” “Peace,” “Discord,” and “Housecleaning.” Each situation unfolds against the same house, and they are not always happy. Scenes of everyday life that at times are exciting, at times give pause for reflection, and at times suggest violence are all mixed together. As the title suggests, “Our Sweet Home: Discord” shows contradictory moments in our lives by placing the adjective “sweet” in contrast to the opposing term “discord.” The gigantic fist bursting through the rooftop and a woman protruding from the window hint at domestic violence, whereas “Our Sweet Home: Peace” shows a woman who has returned to her calm, peaceful daily routine after the turbulent night as if a storm had passed. Sitting on the rooftop, a woman exhausted by life is lost in thought, her eyes closed and her face lifted toward the sky. Behind her, a tea cup as big as the house overflows with coffee, while the concave bluish ground is embracing the woman as if to console her with warmth. | ||||||
