The Imperfect Present

Wild flowers by Yoonji Huh (South Korea)

9/30/2023

 
Artist's Description: 
This piece is a depiction of wildflowers that do not exist in reality. The unreal flowers were
used to not to limit the imagination of the audience. 
Vivid flowers are patternlessly
arranged on a dark navy colour for a contrast. 
I wanted to tell that all the brightness of the
world can be itself only if the darkness is there, in a more dramatic way. It may be seen
as quite depressing and disturbing, but just as how brightness depends on the darkness,
it reveals that dark still coexist with the light. 
While it is very common to only think of just
one single thing, and consider everything else as extra complexity of the whole picture, I wanted
to find the tranquility under complications.
