Description of the work
- Media Oil, charcoal, pastel on panel
- Location LOTTE HOTEL BUSAN 1F
This work, which has the shape of black lines flowing along a split orange-colored wall, is installed at the main reception of the first floor lobby of Lotte Hotel Busan. The sight of charcoal lines penetrating through the cracks created when the orange wall collapses gives the feeling of escaping into one's inner wall to counter the pressure one feels when facing the world. However, by organizing the entire screen into a flow that prevents escape, the artist is trying to express the repetition of attempts to escape, failure to escape, regrouping, and division again in response to the pressure, and the inner fatigue or frustration that comes from it.
