Island 3 Print

“The artist thinks our form is to keep walking through dark alleys, relying on dim light. The moment we reach the destination, we realize it was just a process, we get something, we lose something. On the road to a new goal, we move forward with both expectations and anxiety.” “As the familiar scenery of Daebudo Island disappeared and I found myself in an unfamiliar environment, I felt afraid. While walking carefully in fear, I found a road that was lit by a dim streetlight and hidden by trees. It was barely visible. It looked like an ‘Island’. I then thought that it looked like an ‘Island in an Island’, which made me smile slightly. I could finally find peace after I accepted it as an unknown known.” It is a midnight view of Daebudo Island, located in Ansan, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, expressed in Indian ink on Korean paper called ‘Jangji’. Dark and unfamiliar landscapes and dim lights that are isolated like islands appear as the main images.
