#Visual Frame Story Like there is a “story within a story”, there exists a certain framed structure in literature. My work borrows this framed structure in literature to create a Visual Frame Story; a frame is incorporated within a frame to accommodate a picture within a picture. Through studying art, I had learned that a frame acts as the domain for a picture, supports it, and is the finishing element to the artistic piece. However, the frames in my work are beyond these supportive functions as it is used like paint, as an objet for a concept of the piece. The role of the frame, as Korean architecture that harmonises with nature and its surroundings and unlike the more Westernised buildings that stand out from the landscape, is emphasised. This concept not only aims to consider frames as something more than the conventional functional object, but aims to break the frames in stereotypes. #Butterfly and Bamboo We usually call a straightforward person ’upright’. However, a straightforward person is considered too stiff, too prim, too proper. On the other hand, someone who obsesses on what is beautiful is considered too dissolute, too lazy, too idle. These two things seem like two rabbits you lose if you chase both. In my work, the butterflies symbolise ‘beauty’ and the bamboo represent ‘uprightness’. Through the harmonious way the butterflies flutter through the field of bamboo, I wanted to show that ‘beauty’ and ‘uprightness’ can also work together in people. #Harmony My art is visual art, work is carried out to show it to someone. There are many instances in which paintings are simply hung on white walls. On the contrary, I wanted to ensure that my concept will enable effective and sufficient communication between the artworks and the place where they will be displayed. While working on my artworks, I tried to emphasis that a painting is valid as a form of visual art only when they form an organic harmony with the space where we live presently. In addition, I used the materials that are normally used for interior design so that they can play the role of an intersection for the artworks and the space.
