RECORD AND SYMBOL-II

RECORD AND SYMBOL-II, 2022
Ink stick and oriental dye on Korean mulberry paper (hanji)
40.6 × 71.1 cm (16 × 28 in)

Technique: Rubbings made with mulberry paper on a wooden engraving board The jeogori, a harmony of curves and straight lines, is a cultural symbol of the Korean people and symbolizes wishes for longevity, happiness, wealth, and prosperity.

Building on this basic motif, the jeogori is hand-written with the three fundamental forces of Eastern philosophy—heaven, earth, and people-that constitute the foundation of the world: intuition of reality, human relationships, and harmony.
