Works to view together
Ieodo
The empty boat remembers those who could not return; Ieodo remembers the names that could never be called.
Crows on the Stone Wall
The mound of stone becomes the form of people who lost speech while waiting for those who did not return.
Dol Hareubang and Crows
The stone grandfather waits by not moving and illuminates the road home by not speaking.
A Long, Long Longing
Waiting is not time spent obtaining something, but keeping the heart directed toward what does not come.
Annyeong
Annyeong contains both farewell and return: a greeting that does not hold back, yet promises not to forget.
The Empty House
The tree gestures toward departure while the rock opens toward return: one sends away, the other waits.
