Are they props for photography, or something else?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI answered:\u003cbr\u003e\"Just as people have ID photos, I believe chairs can have portraits that show the essence of their existence.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor me, a chair is not just a piece of furniture; it is an entity that has absorbed human time. It quietly holds traces of body warmth, memories, and life. Chairs also possess their own inherent charm and beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI see chairs not as functional objects, but as entities, and I want to present their unique atmosphere and presence through photography.\u003cbr\u003eThis work is not about recording the shape of a chair, but an attempt to gaze at the portrait of an \"object\" that has lived through time with people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA swan gracefully swimming on the water: 'The Swan Chair.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis chair is \"The Swan Chair,\" designed by Danish designer Arne Jacobsen.\u003cbr\u003eIt is said to have been inspired by the elegant form of a swan swimming gracefully in a river.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking at this chair, I can imagine a scene where swans quietly float in a lobby. When I actually sat in it, I felt a natural, enveloping comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI wanted to capture the elegance of its flowing curves and its warm vitality in this single photograph.\u003cbr\u003eI hope that by tracing these lines, you too can feel a gentle sense of peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe captured images are printed by the artist themselves on Hanji, traditional Korean handmade paper with a breathable texture.\u0026nbsp;Amidst the warmth of the paper and the expansive blank space, the \"object\" quietly begins to tell of its existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— Jonghyun Nam\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[How to Purchase the Artwork]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you wish to purchase an artwork, please get in touch with us via email (info@stylemeetspeople.com) or the inquiry form on the \"About\" page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe will inform you of the shipping costs and delivery time via email, depending on your delivery address.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that if another customer makes a prior purchase on this site, or if a sale is finalized at a gallery during an exhibition, the desired artwork may become unavailable for purchase.
