Line of Death

The idea behind the title “Line of Death” is to express the tension of the moment and the overwhelming concentration it generates. “Line of Death” is an extreme situation where life and death are next to each other. The moment we stand in front of a sword, we undeniably feel that tension. Through this work, I visually express the inner conflict of a person standing on that borderline and the weight of his or her decisions, and ask the viewer how he or she feels about his or her own “death line.
