Artworks 2017 - 2019

My focus has continued on "Forming the existence." From micro to macro universe, how all elements are interconnected and play the role in shaping or giving rise to the existence of all beings. I’ve been drawn to profound beauty in its process of creation as well as the created existence. Utilizing physical light as a medium, I worked with layers of Korean mulberry paper and transparent-colored silk called "Nobang." This process allowed the physical light in the environment to interact with my work at the moment a viewer is present and makes the surrounding physical conditions connected to my work.
