Hwang Jini (1506–1560) was a celebrated Korean courtesan, poet, and musician of the Joseon dynasty. Renowned for her beauty, intelligence, and literary talent, she challenged the social constraints of her time through art and philosophy. Her verses often expressed a profound sense of longing, freedom, and the dignity of being — qualities that resonate deeply in this painting.

The image of “The King’s Walking” emerged from the unconscious — a wandering figure shaped by instinct and rhythm. The blue field opens into vastness, while layers of red and yellow trace the pulse of inner movement, echoing both solitude and dignity.

Le Penseur \_Reimagined explores the moment when unconscious lines reveal emerging forms. Through poured and mixed acrylics, it reflects the meeting of chance and intuition — where thought dissolves into image and contemplation becomes color.

“Robot Fossil – The Birth of Rust” envisions a paradoxical future —

where even the most advanced AI will one day erode into silence,

turning into the fossils of civilization.

Through layered strokes of yellow, blue, and white decay,

the painting embodies the eternal recurrence of creation and disintegration —

the cycle in which human invention, once divine,

returns to dust and memory.

It is a meditation on time’s supremacy over intelligence,

and on the quiet beauty of technological extinction.

“The slowest camel carries the weight of civilization —

a distorted beast wandering through the desert of acceleration.

With a gun in its hand, it mirrors the paradox of modernity:

violence born from haste, and exhaustion disguised as progress.

“Robot Fossil – Posthuman Remains” reflects on the remnants of artificial intelligence —

a posthuman visage fossilized in layers of paint and time.

Amid bold strokes of yellow, blue, and fractured white,

the painting reveals an archeological memory of the machine self,

where the idea of consciousness has long decayed into abstraction.

It asks: when the algorithm turns to dust, what remains of thought?

In its silence, the work embodies the eternal recurrence of technology’s life and death,

and the slow awakening of a world after intelligence.
