Description: “Root of Light” honors the creation of Hangul as the spark of Korea’s cultural and intellectual flourishing. Through abstract forms and vibrant layers, the artist pays tribute to the devotion of Korean mothers who nurtured generations through the power of language and learning. This piece reflects a deep belief in Hangul not just as a script, but as a philosophical vessel—carrying the spirit, wisdom, and resilience of a people into the modern world.
