About the Artist

The “Pure Love” installation is more than just a wall-mounted piece - it embodies a powerful concept of love and life. This white figure, adorned with amorous glances and kisses, represents pure, unconditional love. Pure Love possesses the ability to bring dead creatures back to life, but with a singular condition: the person must love or be loved by someone. However, there is a caveat. To reanimate a soul, Pure Love sacrifices one of her hearts. Should that love be lost, the revived person will immediately perish. This installation invites contemplation on the power of love, its ability to bring life, and the fragility of its hold. The artwork reminds us of the vulnerability that comes with loving and being loved. Exhibitions: Define: Seoul 2024 (Seoul), Cosmoscow-2024 (Moscow)
