Visiting exhibition/display space has become a frequent activity for people nowadays, a part of daily life and also in terms of tourism. Such spaces seem to embody people's sectional understanding and feelings about the world, such as important cultural values shared, social atmosphere, and past historical background and trauma. In addition to the content of the exhibition,the specific factors are also related to the structure of the space itself.  This series of works tries to playfully subvert the order of museum spaces, artworks, and seeing itself. Now the paintings are the things in display and at the same time the reflections on the undertone of the very spaces they end up in. A mise en abîme of the atmosphere.
