The Flow of Mind 82, 48.0 ｘ 68.0 ｘ 0.8cm (48.0ｘ34.0ｘ0.8cm each), Hanji casting, embossing, natural dye (Quebracho green), 2025, Unique
The Flow of Mind 82 is a peerless, unique masterpiece where two interconnected panels converge to form a single, unified world. Its intricate structure defies replication, asserting an irreplaceable presence through its singular form. The surface, marked by striking three-dimensional expression, features characters extracted from the titles of previous works, meticulously engraved using a sophisticated embossing technique. These elements transcend simple text, functioning instead as abstract visual patterns and accumulated traces of time that reflect the artist’s profound contemplation.
The creation process involves a repetitive cycle of dyeing traditional Hanji (Korean mulberry paper) with Quebracho Green, then breaking it down to be cast once more—a method that grants the paper exceptional thickness and a rich, tactile texture. To ensure the permanence of its natural hues, the work is meticulously finished with iron mordanting and UV protection. Built through layers of manual intuition and physical sensation, this mixed-media piece stands as an original and contemporary reconstruction of tradition.
