The beginning and the end eventually meet on the same line

The beginning and the end eventually meet on the same line

​There are many theories about the birth of the universe, but even Gamoff's Big Bang theory, which is the most influential model for the birth of the universe to date, cannot escape the law of homeostasis. According to the Big Bang theory, in a space where there was nothing, primitive atoms gathered together at a very high density and exploded, creating all the materials that make up the current universe and creating the current universe. Moreover, after the Big Bang, the early universe was a primordial fireball with very high temperature and density, but it expanded rapidly and gradually cooled, and the rate of expansion is also gradually decreasing. In other words, this gigantic universe is also an emanation of energy that occurred after breaking a certain originally stable state, which means that this too may one day lose all energy and return to ‘nothingness’ over time.

​The beginning and the end eventually meet on the same line

The beginning of an energy has no choice but to face the extremely natural fate of creating the homeostasis pursued by Mother Nature and then falling asleep through death. This is neither sad nor happy, it is just a natural truth. In this respect, many similar philosophies and ideas of the East and the West are very compatible with homeostasis. If homeostasis means ‘a state that is just right and appropriate’, that is, an intermediate value, the ideas of the Greeks Plato and Aristotle explain this well.

​I confess that every time I read about homeostasis and the principles of nature, my paintings were also a process of exploring these axiom. The painting below is the first painting I made in Germany that made me the artist I am today. Starting with this painting, I was able to create paintings that would debut in German galleries.

This painting was a pictorial representation of the process of returning from something to nothing. I expressed my complicated feelings due to my father's death, living abroad, and the meaning of life in my paintings.

When I first drew this painting, I didn't think it would reach any point in my painting process. This painting and my career as an artist felt separate at the time. But after ten years passed, I learned one truth that gave me goosebumps. In other words, the first painting at that time is exactly the same as the world of art that I realize now. In other words, before I became a painter, I already knew what I would draw, what I would worry about, and what I would realize ten years from now. This is consistent with the coexistence and homeostasis of the universe. In the end, the beginning and the end were on the same line. Even if I wasn't aware of it, I was moving forward little by little by some energy.
