the golden garden & the tower of perception

A dejected-looking figure towers over the viewers offering keys(the books) to its soul. The keys act as a connection between the artist and the reader as it shares its stories through visual knowledge and colors.

​

In the landscape behind the figure stands the Ancient Four Guardians of Ancient Korea: Baekho(the White Tiger), Hyunmoo(the Black Tortoise), Cheongyong(the Azure Dragon) , and Jujak(the Vermillion Bird) - the protectors of north, east, west, and south, respectively.
