ABOUT
나에게 '태초의 잔상'은 내가 경험하지 못한 이전 세계와의 상상 속 신비로운 만남을 의미한다. 이러한 상상의 세계는 나로 하여금 창조적 충동을 일으켜 나를 다시 미지의 세계로 향하게 하는 원동력이다.
For me, 'afterimage' means a mysterious encounter in the imagination with the world I have not experienced. The world of imagination leads me to the creative impulse, which becomes a driving force leading me toward the unknown world.
