‘The unmasking turn of mind’’ does not try to refute ideas, but to harm them by exhibiting their ‘‘extratheoretical function.’ (HACKING, IAN. The Social Construction of What? Harvard University Press, 1999.)

The title of this exhibition, "archetype," and the atoms used as motifs are not about their original universal roles.
In the process of painting composition, he seems to affirm the dynamic and perverse nature of the "archetype" by starting from the inversion of power relations in the painting.

Give the public free access to the memory and data banks (Lyotard, Jean-Francois. The Postmodern Condition. Manchester University Press, 1984.)

 Death is an intensely personal event, yet the body enters a realm of anonymity post-mortem. There exist liminal spaces, moments neither alive nor dead—akin to crossing the River Styx or approaching the Pearly Gates.

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the honor of kings is to investigate a matter. (Old Testament: Book of Proverbs 25:2)

The gesture of cutting up food on platters and serving it to visitors overlaps with the composition of this exhibition, which represents the broken up watchtower from various angles.

The wind is rising! . . . We must try to live!
( Paul Valéry, Le Cimetière marin, 1920.)

The sea has been dividing something, however, simultaneously, it can seem to include everything.
Intermittent flashes of isolation and inclusion floating on the sea allure us.

They say, “He was the most beautiful young man I have ever seen,..” but the detail is not specifically described, but is omitted. Similarly, it has been noted that omissions are made regarding the emotions of the characters in the fairy tale.
