About

This work is a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional Korean painting genre, Chaekgado. Through pastel tones and refined composition, books and objects are depicted as spaces where memory, knowledge, and beauty intersect.

 
Each compartment serves as a quiet archive of contemplation, combining traditional structure with modern colour to propose a visual dialogue on cultural continuity and transformation.
