Hanok 1: Declaration

72.7 x 60.6cm oil on canvas, 2024

This work is a 'declaration' of one's roots.
By juxtaposing figures from classical Korean genre paintings
and white graffiti within a realistic modern landscape,
the piece traverses the boundary between depth and flatness.
This union of heterogeneous elements visualizes the process of establishing identity
within a contemporary context, free from external definitions.
