I create sculptures that express intuition based on my experiential knowledge and experiential sensations, which are rooted in my own experience of life on the grasslands. I seek to discover my own spiritual world within the experiences, culture, and climate of the ethnic group to which I belong, and incorporate the Mongolian shamanistic views of the universe, nature, souls, and animals into my work, questioning the relationship between myself and nature, and between humans and nature, and seeking to embody these. At the root of my creations lies the workings of sensibility, which cannot be grasped by reason, and this exists as a "world felt with the body" cultivated in the vast environment of the grasslands.
The horses and wolves that appear in my work have long been the most familiar animals to nomads, and each is deeply connected to my own view of nature and life and death. The forms of the horses and wolves in my work, which use linear contours and flat surfaces, were created based on the concept of a "straight-flowing wind or energy" blowing through the grasslands. The installation work, which arranges these horses and wolves in a circle, also symbolizes the pilgrimage-like circular act seen in the Mongolian Ovoo Festival, as well as the rhythms of nature and the universe. Through these, I express the "movement" and "expansion" of space that is imbued with energy and a sense of life.
Since arriving in Japan in 2016, she has confronted the question of "what is myself?" in a different cultural environment. Embracing the fluctuations, changes, and reconstructions of her senses that arise between her memories of the grasslands and her everyday life in Japan, she expresses in the form of sculptures and installations the intersection of the personal and universal sensibility. Her motifs, such as horses and ovo, are not simply ethnic symbols; they are treated as sensory media that connect "nature and humans," "Sei to Shi," and "body and spirit." Her aim is for her works to encourage viewers to sense the energy and presence of nature and to rediscover the connection between themselves and nature.
