In my art practice, I explore ways in which we build up our understanding of territories from afarthrough secondary materials. Since 2017, I have been working on a long-term world-building projecttitled My Land. The project is about a territory that does not correspond to any known culture inhuman history. The project contains paintings, sculptures, drawings, and designs that representmaps, artifacts, literature, and commercial products about an imagined territory. The territory has itsown systems of logics, language, and cosmology that only refer to themselves. I consider the projectas a thought experiment of a phenomenal environment in which the personal experience of anyviewer is stripped away. They must completely abandon their invalid cultural legacy to navigate thisworld.
