"Echoes of Transformation"
✦ Artist's Note
"In Nam-sook's tapestry, the feathers breathe vulnerability intertwined with aspirations, whispering stories of precarious poise. Through the juxtaposition of gauze against charcoal depths, we glimpse a city in flux, balancing innovation with the weighty echo of unspoken pasts. Here, silence forms a delicate lattice through which life's uncertainties seep, stark and beautiful against the city's steely resolve."
