クォン・ハナの作品は、記憶と感情の可視化を通じて、一瞬の出来事が永遠の思い出となることをテーマとしている。言葉では表現しにくい率直な感情や内面の葛藤を捉え、作品に登場するもう一人の自分である「ナナ」を通じて新たな自分と向き合う。この創作行為は、自分自身の安定と秩序を見つける旅であり、彼女にとって絵を描くことは、内面を整え、自己を探求するプロセスである。「ナナ」の頭の上には甘いデザートや美味しい食べ物が乗っているが、作家は食べ物を単に食べて描くだけでなく、記憶する瞬間を共有し、過去を映し出す媒体として活用ている。日常で起こるすべてのことが作品の素材になるという作家の言葉通り、誰でも簡単に「ナナ」に共感し、思い出を思い出すことができる。
Hana Kwon’s works explore the theme of how fleeting moments can become eternal memories through the visualization of memory and emotion. She captures raw emotions and inner conflicts that are difficult to express in words, confronting a new version of herself through “Nana,” the other self that appears in her works. This creative act is a journey to find stability and order within herself. For her, painting is a process of self-exploration and inner alignment. Sweet desserts and delicious food rest on top of “Nana’s” head, but the artist does not simply eat and paint them. Instead, she uses food as a medium to share moments of memory and reflect the past. As the artist says, everything that happens in everyday life becomes material for her work. Anyone can easily empathize with “Nana” and recall their own memories.
