About The Work

Koker discusses nature as a cultural structure in his recent works. It creates images of a nature that has been interfered with by humans, and then analyzes them through a pattern that repeats on the surface. This surface distorts the perfection and legibility of the image by layering and reworking, and interprets the possibilities of the images.
