Artist Statement Frederic C. Park IV Recently I developed a fascination with "aporia." Aporia is a philosophical conundrum possessing multiple plausible solutions. I am curious, when do people change? When are we the same person in relation to one's personal continuity? Do our physical components make us who we are? My job as the artist is not to answer these questions necessarily, but to create a piece revealing these questions to the viewer. I Use the human figure to relate this idea. The vibrant colors are based on the inherent ever-changing energy that make up our biological components. The lack of background conveys the figure's ambiguous relationship to it's environment. My primary object focuses on the change and consistency on the idea of the human being.
