Artwork
A successful experiment forms the theoretical foundation of Hwang's sculpture, aiming to blend calculation and imagination, the power of numbers, and the strength of the spirit in the realm of art. The result is a hymn to nature, where rounded shapes open up to embrace water, the primary element that harmonizes well with the stone, through which a ray of sunlight filters to mirror, reflect, and refract.
Science and imagination marry seamlessly in this work, rooted in the pure philosophy of the East, where the body becomes spirit, and the spirit is made of body.
