My Biography

The characteristic of dog and that of cat is opposed to each other. The most distinctive difference is the dedication towards one’s owner; a dog is dedicated to one’s owner while a cat is more likely to be individualistic and depend on the variable circumstances. Hence, when the owner throws a ball, a dog brings the ball back to the owner and a cat does not.


At times, CATOG appears; a cat behaves like a dog, losing its own identity, while being with others and a dog behaves like a cat, while doing their own stuff.
CATOG, Cat or Dog who loses their original identity, reflects my own hesitation with the social pressure and the immature ego. The strange figure, which does not belong to either a group of dogs or a group of cats, is shameful self-imagery.

When I move to Canada, I happen to experience culture shock. In the meantime, I realize that I divided social groups in such a narrow-minded way; I used to categorize the whole population into only two kinds of social categories, Cat and Dog. And I forced myself to be part of one of those groups.

Looking at the beautiful cultural spectrum which still contains inherent cultural identity, I finally realized that the mutual happiness comes from accepting the difference between you and I.

There are CATOGS as me, cats, dogs, and the figures which belong to none of them. Their appearances and minds are colorful. I am the most beautiful and odd CATOG amongst them.
