Artwork text
On the cliff, a single horse faces the evening sky. At the end of the horizon, a small
boat sails away, laden with memories. Parting always begins this way, with distance.
And longing, all the more vivid, lingers in one corner of the heart. The horse gazes
quietly at every moment we shared.
Key context
Byun Shi-Ji was a Korean modern and contemporary painter who treated Jeju’s Fūdo not as scenery but as a condition of existence. Through solitude, waiting, wind and the colour of dried grass, his art formed a glocal modernism rooted in Korea and open to the world.
