We look at life as a series of moments. Some memories are faint flashes, while others linger as vivid traces. Between what disappears and what remains, we question the meaning of existence. What form do the moments we encounter in the passage of time take?

This exhibition is about the way finite things stay and the traces they leave behind. Things that are solid but changing, things that melt and flow with heat and time, things that are pierced and sewn back together. The four artists explore the meaning that emerges from finitude.

What are your most memorable moments: the touch of your fingertips, the glance of your eyes, the emotions that have faded in time, but are still vivid. I hope that as you walk through this space, you will recall your own experiences and discover new perspectives in your percolating memories.

Sohyeong Kim soaks gelatin powder, which could be the remains of any animal, in water, boils it, hardens it, and turns it back into skin. She pokes holes in the flaky gelatin with a hot needle and threads wire or threads through them. Through the temporary connections of the interwoven and suspended pieces, the artist examines the traces of violence and healing that occur in relationships that are captured, invaded, and intertwined.

Jiwon Kim repeatedly stacks and molds clay, creating figures smaller or larger than her torso. The clay responds to her touch, making indentations and accumulating small traces to form a shape. Over time, dust settles on the surface, and the texture changes, like an artifact that has stood the test of time. The artist follows the gestures and marks that the soil remembers, and captures the accumulated traces of time in her work. Through this process of accumulation and wear and tear, objects become part of history and remain in a new form with the density of time that has passed.

Sam Moses Jang explores the process of pain and healing. She uses wool to visually express wounding and recovery, and in the process, aims to elicit empathy from others. The artist does not hide the traces, but reveals them straightforwardly, exploring the will to overcome them and inner changes. She cries and laughs with the world, and eventually heals to live more.

Sijin Jung uses the melting properties of beeswax to metaphorically reveal our fate in the face of a crisis of survival. In the universal reality of the climate crisis, each person's attitude and reaction are different, but the experience of sensing and perceiving the reality of the crisis is common to all. Starting from this common sense, the artist creates symbolic sculptures in search of a common subjectivity.
