About the Artwork
The Garden Where Memories Linger by Bongmin Shim
"A sanctuary of cherished moments." This serene vertical landscape depicts a lush garden where memories grow like tall, protective trees. Beneath the sheltering branches, a child and their companion, Darong, find rest. The floating band-aids in the sky are Shim's signature motif, symbolizing the healing of past wounds and the preservation of precious memories. Painted in soothing greens and soft blues, it invites the viewer into a space of comfort and emotional restoration.
