Incidents which cast shadows on Won's work are such episodes in reality and at the same time psychological incidents. And, meaning and location of the present, which are moved out of context for reprocessing, also vary. The past and the present are open to the future. As such, the next scenes are not determined like rolling dice. Although there is a skein of thread here and there to trace the way through a maze on a little girl's journey to find lost things, her destination is as uncertain as her starting point. Like a garden in Borges's novel in which forked roads frequently appear, it is possible to make simultaneous selections rather than choosing one road or the other. The road is structured into context every time, reinterpreted and rewritten, and moves towards the future in a different way each time. Even a single incident that cannot be forgotten unfolds into a pluralist universe in which the single incident can be replayed in many different variations. Symbols within space-time which is structured into a new context, do not mount clear answers that should be deciphered, but serve as momentum for questions to be raised successively.
