Self-fulfilling prophecy

 

Self-fulfilling prophecy, oil on canvas, 72.7 x 50.0cm, 2021

And I know I deceive myself in my own way. Know too well.  I want to run towards a place I don't know where it is. I want to run away. Sometimes I feel like I am bursting. Reach high. It is very easy to handle. Press it down. Swallow. Remove.

그리고 난 내 방식대로 나를 속일 것을 알아. 어딘지 모를 곳을 향해 달려가고 싶어. 도망치고 싶어. 이따금 터질듯 솟구치는 감정을 느껴. 그냥 높은 곳에 올라가. 굉장히 다루기 쉬워. 억눌러. 제거해.
