While preparing for the shoot, I searched for an object to match these flowers and chose the Joseon white porcelain jar, 'Moon Jar.' I felt it was a flower suited to the moonlight, and I believed the images of plum blossoms and the moon jar would quietly resonate with each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI carefully photographed the flowers to prevent them from wilting, while also observing their wilting process.\u003cbr\u003eI believe that all things embody the meaning of time and life. As I watched the flowers gradually wilt in the studio, I felt a sense of life even there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTherefore, in this work, I chose a scene in which the most beautiful moment and the moment just before wilting coexist. Perhaps the most beautiful time in life is such a moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this work, the moon jar plays a quiet supporting role, enhancing the plum blossoms. Embracing the branches and flowers, it supports the center of the frame and the overall balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the scene where these two presences meet, I attempted to express the sound of spring's arrival as 'seeing' and 'feeling'.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e― Jonghyun Nam\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll artworks are printed by the artist themselves on Hanji, traditional Korean handmade paper.\u003cbr\u003eThe images, deeply permeated into the fibers of the Hanji, carry traces of time, creating a unique expression that blurs the boundaries between photography and painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e[How to Purchase the Artwork]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you wish to purchase an artwork, please contact us via email (info@stylemeetspeople.com) or through the inquiry form on the \"About\" page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe will inform you by email about shipping costs and delivery times based on your delivery address.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that if another customer's purchase is finalized on this site first, or if a sale is made at a gallery during a solo exhibition, you may not be able to purchase your desired artwork.
