Works to view together

Noon
Endurance is not waiting for a windless day, but keeping one's path while the wind continues.

The Tree That Reaches Toward the Sky
Even while lowered, life continues upward and refuses to forget the sky.

Living Alone
Living alone is not severance from the world, but a place of dwelling deeply with oneself.

Sea Village
One can leave because someone remains; one can return because someone keeps the place.

Ieodo
The returned empty boat is the only evidence that the fisherman reached Ieodo.

The Last Work
A horse, black sun, small boat, and coastline remain in minimal lines. The final surface is less a closed conclusion than an open resonance.
