While conducting research on creating paintings through the accumulation of drawing and erasing lines, I realized that I was particularly interested in the "overlapping" sections, which led me to focus on those areas. To express the image as if it were cut out and extracted using digital tools, I primarily use shaped canvases.

The vibrant colors in my works not only represent the "overlap" created by layers but are also shaped by the overlap of different times, cultures, styles, and environments that I have experienced and accumulated over time.

The word "overlap" also carries the meaning of a "lap runner overlapping with others on the track" in athletics. My personal experience of reconnecting with friends I thought I would never meet again after a gap of more than ten years in my artistic career is also reflected in the title of this series.
