the golden garden & the tower of perception
2022
painting: acrylic, chalk & oil pastel
books: stonehenge paper, felt
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.
