This work began with a new interpretation of Henri Matisse's works. Matisse did not stop creating even when he was bedridden, but rather attempted a new artistic approach that transcended physical limitations. He opened up another artistic horizon through experimental work that explored the essence of color and form, rather than the conventional approach. This challenging attitude was a great inspiration for me in my search for intense color contrasts and original forms, and I wanted to express this through the material of thread.

In particular, this work is a new combination of four of Matisse's representative works. The legacy of his colors and forms, combined with the artist's unique imagination, created a unique scene. This work, woven together using the tufting technique, has a texture and depth different from that of a flat painting, and has once again become a process of experimenting with the contrast of colors and harmony of space that Matisse explored.

The title 'Dreaming in a Frame' captures the essence of the work. In the process of visually expressing thoughts that cross the boundaries between delusion and fantasy, the various interpretations and emotions that came to mind while viewing Matisse's work were captured in a single frame. It is not a simple reproduction, but an attempt at a new visual dialogue by borrowing his colors and composition.

Through this work, I hope that viewers will experience the point where the artist's gaze meets Matisse's gaze and unfold their own dreams.
