Chunbum Park

"My art has been like a mirror with which to examine myself. Why am I often attracted to this kind of beautiful imagery, dealing with femininity, eroticism, and sexuality in my work? I am trapped in my own male way of seeing, or the male gaze, and I cannot escape this nature despite my desire to become a woman in my fantasy. This is a contradiction - the desire to become a woman and my maleness that exercises the male gaze."
