Echoes Between Worlds (두 세계의 메아리 · Du Segye-ui Meari)

Created during the artist’s time in Argentina, “Echoes Between Worlds” explores the uneasy dialogue between the modern and the ancestral. In vibrant portraits and symbolic abstraction, blue eyes and powdered faces represent a polished present — confident, outward, and consuming. In contrast, remnants of Incan spirit appear quieted, worn, and solemn — not erased, but subdued.
Rather than frame this as conflict, the artist paints it as a fragile transition, full of questions. What is carried forward? What is lost? These works express a quiet compassion for what fades, and a deep sensitivity to the spiritual imbalance that comes when progress forgets its roots. The result is not a judgment, but a mourning — and a call to listen to the voices beneath the surface.
