Perspective15F Eosahwa Painting

# Perspective The environment in which we are born and and grow up in shapes our values and paints the colours of our personality. We therefore look at the same object or phenomenon in our own way and interpret it differently to others. We are sometimes stubborn in our own views and interpretations, forcing them unto others. Although we may see things in one way, we must recognise and respect others’ ways of looking at things and this is what I have attempted to portray. #Breaking the Frame Breaking out of familiarity is difficult: waking up early, exercising an hour a day, eating less. Routines end up shaping us but imprisoning us from trying something new. I wanted to break out of my frame of habits, stubbornness and fixations. This is what my broken frames signify. # Eosahwa During the Joseon Dynasty, the emperor would bestow a paper flower upon those who successfully passed the civil examinations called the “Eosahwa”. During the recent Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, medalists were presented with replicas of the “Eosahwa Soohorang” and the ” Eosahwa Bandabi” Olympic mascots and they grew to be very popular. I have therefore applied butterfly and Eosahwa patterns in this painting to express the wish of one’s ego to become popular.
