Nevermore
Produced in the year 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic began. The work utilizes chroma key processing, an age-old image synthesis technique, to make an allegorical concept of "literally painting back an ordinary scene that has been lost to all people on earth, with a single paintbrush" into an actual work.
Today, virtual reality—a huge digital platform increasing the width, depth, and density rapidly—has been infiltrating into our reality. Computers often make us reconfirm replicability/un-replicability, traceability/un-traceability, reversibility/irreversibility, and momentariness/permanence of various technology, and our reality is made from intersections between them and material actuality. Nevermore plainly gives shape to the force and functionality of the image in the current “Reality” situation.

The title Nevermore is a reference to the words of the Raven in the Narrative poetry “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe.
