Work Details

Concept and Intention of the Artwork

This popular series, inspired by the colors and atmosphere of the morning dawn, was first created in 2017. The works explore subtle shifts of light, color, and atmosphere through layered compositions.

Concept

The Morning Dawn series began with a moment I experienced near a train station.

I once saw a young man quietly smoking and repeatedly whispering, “die, die, die...” to himself. Rather than judging him, I felt that his words reflected a sense of frustration, loneliness, and protest toward the difficulties of living in contemporary society.

That moment stayed with me and led me to think about the invisible emotions people carry within everyday life. Although we live in the same world, each person experiences life through different circumstances, happiness, struggles, and emotional landscapes.

Morning dawn fascinates me because it is always the same sun, yet its colors change completely depending on place, weather, temperature, and atmosphere. In the same way, although we share one world, each person sees and experiences it differently.

Morning dawn often brings a quiet feeling of healing and hope. Through this series, I hope to create works that offer a moment of comfort and gentle encouragement, similar to the feeling of witnessing the first light of a new day.

What I wanted to express through this work

Around the time this series was born, I started noticing more irritable people around town and felt the world's atmosphere gradually worsening. At the same time, I fundamentally believe in the doctrine of innate goodness—that people are inherently kind.

However, I also realized that people are influenced by their environment. Those irritable souls I saw out and about might just be temporarily unhappy due to various factors, like ending up at a black company.

So, with the intention of offering encouragement to such people, I created this “Morning Down” series, envisioning the moment of sunrise that arrives equally for everyone around the world every single day.
