My work explores woodcut printmaking as a medium of emotional processing, cultural storytelling, and personal transformation. Through carving and printing, I translate subconscious imagery shaped by my experiences as a tattoo artist—stories that enter my psyche, reemerge in dreams, and resurface as symbolic forms on wood. Both tattooing and printmaking are acts of inscription, recording emotion through the resistance of material. In carving, pain becomes rhythm; in ink, trauma becomes symbol. This process reflects Freud’s notion of emotional release through creation and Jung’s idea of the unconscious speaking in symbols. Influenced by Panofsky’s iconology and Merleau-Ponty’s embodiment, I see each print as an extension of the body’s memory and its effort to heal. Drawing from figures like Dürer and Käthe Kollwitz, my woodcuts merge psychological introspection with social reflection. The resulting images act as emotional archives—marking the passage from pain to meaning. In site-specific installations, these works extend beyond the self, inviting viewers into a shared space of contemplation. Ultimately, my practice transforms personal struggle into collective resonance, revealing how the carved surface—like human skin—bears the trace of survival, empathy, and transformation.
