Even the nameless wild grasses of the wasteland are beautiful in spring
Apartments have long been a common form of residential space in urban areas. Although living in stacked apartments on a small plot of land is tough, apartments are clearly the ideal form of housing for those who prefer a place with convenient transportation and a variety of amenities.
Besides the many advantages of apartment living, equipped with convenient facilities and excellent security, it is always disappointing to see the gloomy view outside the window, which is blocked like the Great Wall of Qin Shi Huang, not to mention the front yard. Leaning once morest the window and watching the leaves fall and pile up on the patio on a rainy, windy fall day, or feeling calm and peaceful while worrying regarding the piled up piles when the white snow falls in winter, is something that others can envy. as long as you live in an apartment. I live in a house with a courtyard away from the noise and hustle and bustle of the city and I aspire to a calm and peaceful life. However, I am in a hurry to get out every morning and can’t give up the convenience and benefits. of city life, so I can’t dare to live in an ecological house. It doesn’t come very often instead of a house with a garden where I can feel the changing of the seasons with my whole body, whenever I have time. , I walk in the nearby park or look at my garden to feel nature. Spring is coming regardless of the type of terrain. Among the six seasons attributed to spring, Cheongmyeong, which begins on Arbor Day in April, is the time when spring reaches its peak. Just like a lie, as soon as the moment arrives, the sky clears and all things come to life.
Grasses gather closely together to flower and bear fruit. You may think they’re just “grasses” or “flowers”, but if you bend down and look under the big tree, each grass has a different appearance and they’re all pretty. In the wastelands, roads and cracks in the walls that we pass through along our way, countless living beings spread seeds and spores and grow, divide and multiply on their own without anyone plants grass or even notices it. In spring, the flowers are particularly numerous, short and delicate. It is the survival instinct of young spring plants to spread out and receive sunlight to photosynthesize, grow and reproduce quickly before the big trees grow tall and cast shade. Countless seeds swell from small seeds and are widely blown away by the wind. It wanders in search of empty space and settles in a gap that is easy to lean on. It wanders aimlessly from place to place with its wings or fur attached, and when it lands, life takes hold in that place. It is astonishing and unique to see small beings of light unable to move on their own, clinging to other beings to extend their existence and perpetuate themselves.
Although insignificant, it is a life force that ultimately occupies a larger area than any other animal or plant. Somehow it settles into cracks in asphalt, sidewalk blocks, and narrow holes in damp walls, and eventually grows through them. Fill in tight spaces and spread some green. Looking at the vitality and tenacity of the plants that barely protrude from the cracks and climb the wall, their vitality is incredible, but at the same time I wonder if life is so cold and tearful.

It was suspended in the air in the shape of a plant. This is a “moving diffuser” that emits fragrance and creates movement in the air when sprayed with an air freshener. 2020 <랄랄라>(2020, Insa-dong KCDF Window Gallery, Lotte Department Store Gallery Exhibition) is an installation work that creates a beautiful spring landscape in an interior space, with flowers blooming on the ground and luminous creatures floating in the air. The artist used the subtle gradient effect and color achieved through the dyeing process that permeates and spreads onto Korean paper and fabric, like traditional color painting, as the motif of the design. To express the vibrant feeling of spring, the overall shape was used with vivid curves, pastel colors and transparent texture, seen from the exhibition ‘lalala’ by Yang Ji-yoon (Ohmarch) (Galerie Lotte), 2020 / Photography by Yang Ji-yoon, Minjeong Kim ⓒProvided by the artist The artist executes a precise and consistent “process,” cutting materials with different physical properties and textures to create various life forms. Most of the time, he gives his attention and attention to insignificant beings and treats them as if they were living creatures, replacing their luminous presence and movements with meaningful life or life energy. each <사랑에 빠진 무>, <민들레의 설렘>, <양귀비 왈츠> He was called by his name and had a special meaning.
Some look like seeds with wings or fluff, while others look like floating cherry blossom petals. Sometimes light that penetrates beneath the delicate leaves scatters, creating a moiré pattern on the floor and walls. The shapes, colors, and textures of translucent and pastel-colored living things are just “spring,” even if they are not the specific shapes of natural objects. Their movements are imbued with vitality, subtle and persistent emotions and a beauty that can only be felt in seasons that we tend to forget. Each one appears to be floating in the air without any order, but they hang firmly from the ceiling and create a flexible curve in the air. Even though it’s indoors, you can feel the gentle breeze. Everyone feels the feeling of being welcome in spring, and doesn’t anyone remember humming “lalalala” enthusiastically while observing the movement of small creatures? The universal “excitement of a spring day” is what the artist wants to reproduce and what he wants the viewer to feel synesthetically.[위_왼쪽부터]
Isn’t spring, especially the time of daylight when the sky becomes clear and all things come to life, a sight that can only be seen just before the yellow dandelions turn to cotton and begin to flutter? However, it is not a reproduction of nature or the seasons, but at the same time a demonstration of the vitality and the dream of permanence that all beings living on earth, including humans, dream of. In a moment that we cannot see even if we see it with our heightened senses, we can suddenly encounter a certain season or moment in life, relying on the unusual gaze and sensitivity of the artist who captures the subject and is reflected in the material properties of translucent Korean paper and fabric. While reflecting on the memories and feelings of a spring day in the past of his life.
