“We are all non-mainstream and minorities.
We all, even for a fleeting moment, experience a minority.
Because no two people are the same in this world
and every one is different,
there is no such thing as a perfect mainstream.
It just looks like that on the outside.”

Artist profile
LAETITIA
My works start from the fact that I am not a ‘wrong person’ but a ‘OTHER PERSON’.
And because we are all different, I say we are ‘MINORITIES’. It’s clearly different from me, but for lonely souls like me, I put my honest stories in. It is just to show that ‘I also had such moments.’ by describing the numerous emotions I faced, in the form I sensed at that moment.
In order to express sincere emotions in external apperances, I have mainly drawn figures focused on tears or facial expressions and hand gestures. Recently, for a more clear depiction, I am also working on visualizing the emotions themselves
or the inner scenes in rougher and more abstract forms.
This is same as sending a message of solidarity and support in a static but passionate way – like the audience raising their hands at the moment when Hedwig realizes that he is whole as one in ‘Midnight Radio’, the last number of the musical.
Accordingly, as a symbol of the reason why I do art, I sometimes put ‘shape of raising hands’ to reveal that we can be together if we recognize our differences.
And in the process of working, I realized that all wounds and pains do not go away just by resolving them, and that we have to live with scars every day. So I get to think maybe all of these are part of our daily life.
Moreover, I have witnessed phenomenons that we perceive the same things differently due to the nature of each of us being different, thus the content of
my artworks is expanding into extremely everyday scenes. Since this is a work that raises our neglected parts to the same line as universality, I would like to draw as if listing various human affairs with assorted materials and media through diverse colors, subjects, and shapes. Therefore although I am currently focusing on painting, I plan to steadily expand my means of expression as well.
Thus, my work can be said to be a collection of pieces of ‘life’, as well as the various languages of love I send, and all of which is a journey of striving to do love in the name of solidarity
