| RERUNN is driven by a deep fascination with the beauty of rarely seen, disappearing, and even long-lost tribes and traditions from around the world. His work seeks to preserve the values and wisdom of ancient cultures by reinterpreting their aesthetics, symbols, and stories for future generations. Working across sculpture and painting, RERUNN creates characters situated in carefully considered spatial compositions—bridging past and present through visual narrative. |

THE HYPOCRITE 2
Flower blooms from the elder’s mouth. Through his years of living, he has learned to deceive the villagers with sweet words for his own good.
THE BOY on the LOTUS LEAF 1
A young boy floats around on his giant lotus leaf with its edge strengthened by bones. His elf-shaped hat and flowing scarfs made from long leaves.
THE BOY on the LOTUS LEAF 2
He flies high with a free spirit, exploring the landscape of the Omo valley.
THE BOY on the WOODEN STILTS 1
A teenage boy uses his equipped wooden stilts, the apparatus which have helped him survived through the harsh, lonely childhood. The lined scarification on his face marks the life he has been through.
THE BOY on the WOODEN STILTS 2
Although the wooden stilts are not as good as the floating lotus leaf, the boy taught himself to use them as if they were an extension of his limbs. They were used for walking through tough terrains and for stick fighting. On this lonely path, his struggle for survival continues.
THE MOTHER and CHILD 1
The mother keeps her new born child in the protective, hard-shell case which seems to be a part of her body.
THE MOTHER and CHILD 2
Worried for her child’s future in the village controlled by the elder oracle, although uncertain and doubtful, she goes on a long journey towards the wind for a better home.
THE SURMA
The four villagers of the Omo Valley go on living their destined lives written by their own backgrounds. The future is yet to be written by their ambitions.
