This exhibition positions drawing not simply as a medium, but as a method of thought and action. It shifts the focus from clear outcomes to the movement and direction within the process itself, emphasizing the act over the result. The works on display foreground this "drawing as thinking," particularly the artist’s performative stance and purposeless acts. Rather than asking "What is being made?", the exhibition prioritizes questions such as "How does one move?" and "Where is one headed?“

By presenting works that go beyond the conventional materials and forms of drawing, the exhibition expands drawing into a tool for cognition, a record of bodily and material traces, and a process-based mode of expression. Through these performative gestures, the exhibition invites viewers to experience drawing as a constantly evolving act—intentional yet open, reflective of both fleeting movement and moments of thought.
