In "Hahun," viewers are transported back to a time of innocence and wonder. It serves as a reminder that amidst the complexities of adult life, there is still room for the child within us to play, dream, and find joy in the world.
The inspiration behind "Hahun" comes from my daily drawings, memories, and the act of daydreaming.
It captures the simple yet profound joys of childhood, where the world is a place of endless possibilities and discoveries. The use of geometric shapes in primary colors reflects the simplicity and purity of a child's perspective.
The color palette used in "Hahun" is warm white and pastels, with earthy greens and geometric shapes in primary colors, which adds a sense of innocence and youthful exuberance to the piece.
The layers of paint, the sanding down, painting again, carving, making marks, and pencil drawings all contribute to the rich texture and depth of the artwork. This layered approach mirrors the layers of memories and emotions that come together to form the tapestry of one's life.
