Edition: Unique. Unframed.

This artwork will be shipped rolled in a dent-resistant tube. This method is especially safe for large works, and provides lower shipping costs as well. Rolled works can be easily stretched (for canvas works, i.e. placed onto wooden stretcher bars) and/or framed by a local framer upon arrival.

This piece marks the inaugural work in the series, featuring 108 colour planes. Each plane is uniquely inscribed with the colour's name as an adjective in Korean.
In this artwork, the artist has endeavoured to encapsulate the essence of time, emotions, and the spectrum of human experiences—ranging from suffering to joy—within a single canvas.

The decision to write the colour names centrally within the colour planes is a deliberate and aesthetic choice, creating an open space that allows for visual and emotional breathing room rather than presenting a solid, uninterrupted field of colour. See less
