Memory, history and nature - they are a kind of "difficult to read thoroughly" existence. With the accumulation of perceptual memories inside and outside my body as I walk, guided by the punctum of numerous connections, I have explored memory, history, and nature through the chronological and fictional constructs of images in the real world in 'The Exception of History.'

In addition to capturing the tangible natural scenery of the area, it constructs different layers of reality by incorporating documentary archives and content linked to the region, historical figures who have passed, and individuals who have played distinctive roles in the locality. Through this, it seeks to express the indeterminate exceptional state that is difficult to define in that area.
