About

Exhibition Statement: We often compare life to a film. Scene after scene, each of us completes our own story, yet not every moment unfolds as we hoped. Sometimes we need to call 'OK, cut' even on an imperfect scene and pause for a while — not as giving up, but as a choice that lets us move on to the next scene. Park Gyeol's exhibition is about the space between the scenes of life, where souls stop for a moment for their own sake. Light does not vanish; it seeps in. The love, hope, faith and comfort we meet along the way never fully disappear with time. A small, sincere gesture left by someone seeps into another's heart and becomes light, and a soul that holds that light finds the strength to take flight again, even in darkness. Following a journey in which light flows in, is taken within, endures and takes flight, the exhibition serves as a metaphor for how we move through the time of our lives. Along the way, souls sit for a while to watch the sunset, looking back on the time behind them and the light left within them. Even imperfect days and moments that didn't go as planned leave their own colors inside us. The sun may set, but the moments its light touched do not disappear. Though the light fades, what has seeped into us does not. Rather than urging visitors to go further, the exhibition invites them to linger for a while for themselves — a time when nothing needs to be proven or completed, a time to discover the light within and set out toward tomorrow again. One scene ending does not mean our film is over. A soul that pauses before the fading light carries that light with it and begins to fly once more.
