About Exhibition

Erosion is often a gradual wearing away that goes unnoticed. Values, relationships, and ways of thinking slowly unravel through repetition, neglect, and small acts of surrender. EROSION / A SERIES traces the human and social values quietly disappearing beneath the apparent progress of contemporary life.
The series explores cultural homogenization, weakening family bonds, the transformation of childhood, ethical violations in war, the climate crisis, digital intrusions into privacy, and the delegation of thinking to artificial intelligence. Each poster approaches a shared question: At what point do we begin to lose the values that make us human?

Worn surfaces, fragmented letters, diminishing forms, and interrupted lines give visual expression to losses in memory, language, relationships, and conscience. Black masses evoke pressure and systemic weight; off-white spaces leave room for reflection and resistance. Red interventions emerge as boundaries, wounds, or traces of a continuing human response.

Rather than offering definitive answers, EROSION invites viewers to reconsider transformations normalized within everyday life. Recognizing their earliest traces opens a space for questioning what we are gradually learning to accept.
