1990s Recurrence_ It means returning to the origin and being reborn
The series of "Recurrence," which began in the late 80s and blossomed in the 90s, focused on the "Texts" in which human civilization forms a huge vein of human civilization along with water droplets, the source of life. The selection of Hanja is an abstract work that abstractly establishes the symbolic meaning that the source of Hangeul is Hanja and the tranquil beauty that contains the "emptiness and nothing" of Eastern philosophy, beyond simple formative elements.
This work actively used oriental painting materials such as Korean paper and ink on canvas. The three-dimensional expression of brilliant water droplets is made on the basis of abstract expressions stacked by crossing Hanja with different jokes.
