Artwork location: South Korea

We have no contour, we are a variety of groups, and we are one side (plate).
Passing through each other, with a different order, just endlessly connected and leaped away.
It is a map with inaccurate and diverse entrances and consists of moving directions.
It is a system in which only states are circulating and is created (=becoming).
We are a "continuity existing between" depicting changes and variations in new arrangements.

We are not just beings who follow the limits of society, but we are free and flexible nomads that are created together with our friends.
We are the flow itself, and the rhyzomes with infinite positive potential.

Socially-defined, among the many things we've experienced through education and customs, I thought of us living our lives in conflict or happiness..
But, we can make new deployments courageously by facing new people and situations..
In my other paintings, people come out in many forms, but most of them are not smiling..

I've been trying to describe the paintings for the ordinary places and time passing by while looking at them.
Seemingly, my paintings are brighter and more pleasant because I believe we are the ones who have
courage and cheer up and jump over the hurdles in moody.
It's because I've happily seen our inner selves each other deviating from the things we trusted and followed like robots.

We do not stand as stiff as a tree., It's not something that just follows the given framework of society.
But it's something like nomads that are flexible like roots and freely create with their neighbors.
It generates from everything to become the power and flow of the potential. Rhyzome.

Without a will or energy ... seeming tardy and unfamiliar and insecure ...
Just opening my mouth slightly and wearing a tie, I can hope this is right and may believe I'm so proud of myself vaguley.
But rather we. who have warm consideration and hope, are together with other people around me ...
Like on the podium in "Dead Poet Society".
Now we learn how to think on our own, to appreciate the language ..
I want to be a poem in our lives the language and thoughts make the world go round.

Imagine it at home

Heesung Lee, Coming of age on planet earth
Heesung Lee

Heesung Lee

South Korea  • 1973

We have no outline, we are a diverse group, we are one sided.

They jumped in endless connection, crossing paths in different orders.

It is a map with imprecise and variable entries and organized into travel routes.

It is a system in which only states circulate and are created (=will be).

We are “continuities between," describing the changes and transformations of new arrangements.

We are not creatures subject to the limits of society, but free and flexible nomads created with friends.

We are the flow itself, rhyzomes with infinite positive potential.

Among the many things we experience through education and customs, socially defined

I thought we lived our lives in conflict or in happiness.

But we can brave new arrangements by confronting new people and new situations.

In my other paintings, the figures appear in various forms, but most do not smile.

I tried to depict in my paintings the ordinary places and moments that we experience while looking at them.

On the surface, my paintings are brighter and more joyful because I believe that is who we are.

Be courageous and energetic and overcome moody obstacles.

Because we have fortunately seen our inner self move away from robotic believing and following.

We are not as stiff as a tree, it does not follow the mold of a given society,

But he is like a nomad, flexible like roots and free to create with his neighbors.

It is generated in all things and becomes a force and flow of potential. Rhizome.

Without willpower or energy... you feel behind, unknown and anxious...

Just by opening my mouth slightly and tying my tie, I can hope that it's true and vaguely believe that I'm so proud of myself.

But rather us. Be with others around you with warm consideration and hope...

Like on the podium of the “Dead Poet Society".

We now learn to think for ourselves and understand language.

I want to be poetry in our lives: language and thoughts flow throughout the world.
