LINEGRAPHY — Retsu (Passion)
The title LINEGRAPHY refers to a visual language formed through the accumulation of lines. Viewing individual calligraphic brushstrokes as elements of a collage, the artist reconstructs them into a new visual composition. As the title Retsu suggests, the work expresses the fearless spirit of a warrior through dynamic lines that intertwine and resonate with one another.
