Garden of Earthly Light
100 × 74.92 cm
$60,000
When you look at Hieronymus Bosch’s work, you are drawn into surreal world that he had imagined in his head. It is so fantastic that people still haven’t an organized thoughts about its details. This photograph is marked with nature’s grip for survival leaving marks of unknown language just as Bosch’s strange juxtapositions. Upon close inspection, the photo becomes a pointillist galore. It’s a view of the dark and unknown and our nature for conflict. You could ponder upon timeless journey in its foreign language.

I am great
$50,000
This piece brilliantly continues my theme of discovering striking pareidolia within everyday decay, and the title anchors the visual metaphor perfectly.
The deep, oxidized fissure traveling up the textured plaster splits into two distinct, sweeping arcs, unmistakably mimicking a figure with its arms raised in total triumph. The way the dark, heavy rust stain grounds the center before drawing the eye upward into that expansive, joyous gesture creates a wonderful sense of energy and victory.
There is something very profound about finding such a bold statement of self-realization—this declaration of "I am Great"—etched naturally into a crumbling, weathered wall. It takes a deeply patient, seasoned eye to spot this kind of latent human emotion hidden in the physical breakdown of a structure. It feels very connected to a mindful, unhurried way of moving through the world, allowing your environment the time and space to reveal these quiet epiphanies.
Nageune (Sojourner)
100 × 61.77 cm
$50,000
This is one of favorite composition. Sometimes I feel this way, a sojourner.
Solitude
80 × 55.04 cm
$40,000
Believing that life itself is an illusion, solitude hardly seems ineffable. It’s a time for myself. Selfish even, solitude. Koreans have an expression that they chew on 고독. It sort of shows their attitude toward solitude, brooding introspection.
It’s a lovely word in my mind, solitude, settles me down when all things go away.

Mystery Man
70 × 58.77 cm
$30,000
This is something I wanted to paint, figurative abstract. Abstraction is becoming so mundane and boring that it needs a reference point. Abstraction should not rely on technic, but substance.
Triangle
$20,000
The composition has a striking, raw aesthetic. The interplay of the cool, distressed blue surface against the warm, organic drip of the rust creates a fascinating visual tension. There is a distinctly meditative quality to the way the chaotic scratches and weathered textures frame those three stark, horizontal voids and the bold, geometric shape anchored near the bottom.
It is a fantastic example of finding profound abstract structure and narrative in the decay of overlooked surfaces.
Rectangle Composition
$20,000
The arrangement of the weathered rectangles creates a non-linear, almost musical rhythm. The eye is naturally led in a sweeping motion—starting from the heavy, textured mass at the top left, stepping down to the stark black horizontal rectangle slightly below center, and finally moving to the dark vertical anchor cropped on the far right.
There is a compelling visual tension between the strict geometry of the original rectangular shapes and the organic, chaotic reality of their decay. The hard right angles have been eroded by time into rough, torn edges, softening the rigid structure into something much more fluid and abstract.
The distressed, off-white background functions as more than just an empty canvas; it acts as the structural mortar of the frame. The generous use of this textured negative space allows the heavy, dark blocks to breathe, preventing the composition from feeling claustrophobic.
By operating in a near-monochromatic palette, the composition relies entirely on its values. The deep, solid blacks serve to anchor the image, giving it weight, while the complex mid-tones are carried entirely by the physical texture—the peeling layers, the scuff marks, and the ghosted remnants of whatever was pasted there before.
Politics
$20,000
This photograph thrives on the interplay of macro texture and natural decay, but it shifts away from rigid geometry into much more organic, fluid shapes. The contrast of the dark, gritty voids against the cracked, off-white surface creates a very tactile visual experience.
The title adds a brilliant conceptual layer to the abstraction. The heavy, dark shape in the upper right strongly resembles a speech bubble that is dripping, leaking, or deflating downward. The lower crater-like form, with its peeling edges and subtle greenish-gray tones, almost looks like an open mouth, an ear, or a void receiving that heavy drip. It gives the wear and tear of the wall a very metaphorical, almost satirical weight.
Tree
$20,000
This piece is a fantastic continuation of my exploration into the abstraction of decay, but with a striking introduction of vibrant color compared to the starker, near-monochromatic feel.
The pareidolia here—our mind's tendency to see familiar shapes in random patterns—is incredibly strong and perfectly captured by the title. The deep, oxidized rust stain creates a beautifully tapered trunk, while the organic bloom of the green moss or algae forms a lush, sprawling canopy.
There is a wonderful irony in this composition: a naturally occurring image of a tree formed entirely by the breakdown of man-made materials and the slow, quiet reclamation by nature.
Geometry Classics
80 × 56.46 cm
$20,000
This piece presents a really fascinating visual contrast. The central black-and-white photograph of the clouds has a beautiful, meditative quality to it
Framing that serene, monochromatic sky within such a chaotic, heavily textured background creates a striking dynamic. The vivid, almost distressed layers of neon yellows, greens, and purples, mixed with those rough geometric lines, give the whole composition a gritty, psychedelic energy. Experimenting with contrasting my classic black-and-white work against these more aggressive, colorful textures.
Latent Epiphany Series
Laos has unbelievable clouds, white against bluest of skies in various formations. Especially, after the rainy season starting from September. I have been looking at the skies of Laos over 10 years and photographing them because it stirred my soul. The details in clouds told me stories that I did not expect or presumed in shapes of different forms that belied its message. Shapes that could not be explained in words.
A long ago, a man tilted his camera upwards and photographed the sky and the clouds to prove that it is the artist who can distinguish something as art from a subject that is available to everyone. His name was Alfred Stieglitz. The father of modern photography.
I’ve taken so many of photographs of the clouds that now, I rarely tilt my head. I’ve seen it all, even though it’s never the same. When you observe something for a long time, it becomes you. I’ve become like a cloud. Here, no longer. It’s gone!
