Artist Kim Jae-seon emphasizes the artificial limitations inherent in works that create specific units with no orientation on a confined plane, as well as the tension and expansion of a limited screen. These limitations serve as a foundation for expansion, representing the resilience of slow movements that consistently take shape in gradually filling winds. The hidden inner strength of the artist, who has walked a solitary path for over 30 years, is evident in this work.
