Works to view together

Oreum
The summit is not a place to remain. An ascent is completed by descent.

The Cliff's Edge
To paint dried-grass colour is to call Jeju into the work. Colour reveals fūdo rather than covering scenery.

Tropical Sun
This yellow is not merely local colour; it is the colour of life that has endured.

The Empty House
The tree gestures toward departure while the rock opens toward return: one sends away, the other waits.

The Old Pine and the Old Man
The old man cannot go inside, fearing that the boat will vanish the moment he turns away.

In Memoriam
Dwelling is not occupying a place, but gradually becoming part of it.
