Leaning on Becoming

Seoul KIM, Hyoeun KIM, Jihea PARK, Seunghyun LIM
 
Installation View (1)
 
‘Becoming’ is not a fixed result, but an ongoing process of renewal and transformation.
 
Installation View (2)
 
Before settling into a stable form, it remains in a state of continual formation — shaped through time, relationships, and encounters with the surrounding world.
 
Jihea PARK, Your Time and My Time, Korean Ink, Gouache, Thread, Oil pastel, 72.7×60.6cm, 2026
 
In this exhibition, leaning does not imply reliance on something solid or complete; rather, it suggests positioning oneself within the unstable yet generative flow of becoming itself.

Growth here is understood not as linear progress, but as an open and relational movement that unfolds through repetition, difference, and connection.
 
Hyoeun KIM, Unmapped Time 11, gouache on paper, 100x70cm, 2026
 
The four participating artists each reveal different dimensions of this becoming.
 
Seunghyun LIM, The God of Farming, Gouache on Hanji, 116.8x91cm, 2026
 
Through layered botanical images on transparent acrylic panels, nostalgic landscapes built through printmaking, paintings infused with pilgrimage-like narratives, and tender scenes of children and animals embroidered with thread, the exhibition explores growth as something shaped slowly through care, memory, labor, and coexistence.

Rather than presenting fixed meanings or completed forms, Leaning on Becoming invites viewers to dwell within processes still in formation — to sense how we continuously become through our relationships with others, with time, and with the world around us.
