The audience would enter a narrowed room, where there are signs of destruction on the walls. The Snow Mountain series is delicately hanged onto the matte black walls. In this conflicted space the drawings interact with one another, as well as with the surrounding spaces, through their relative and conflicting elements. Through the entrance into a self-contained white space, the Waterscape series is presented on the walls in a simpler and more formal manner. The metallic black lines emulating the movement of water are in immense contrast with the whiteness of their background, frames and the walls, immediately situating the spectator in a hypothesis as though looking at a scenery from afar through a window, which correlates with the predicament in which our interaction with nature itself is made increasingly distant through the invisible barriers of modern civilization, as depicted in the Snow Mountain series.
