About the Artwork
The Forest I by Hanjeong Lee
"A majestic dialogue between the golden earth and the pale mountains." This grand landscape captures the rhythmic vitality of nature in its varied forms. A sweeping field of golden amber dominates the foreground, radiating warmth and life. Beyond the dense barrier of the dark forest, pale mountains rise in the distance, evoking a sense of ancient stillness. Lee builds this complex scenery layer by layer, harmonizing the "amber blushes" of the field with the "whiter shade" of the mountains to create a space of profound depth and balance.
