About the Artwork
The Lakeside Forest II by Hanjeong Lee
"An intimate whisper of the woods." Unlike Lee’s expansive panoramic works, this piece offers a closer, more intimate view of the lakeside forest. The dense congregation of trees stands firm against the soft, pale water, creating a quiet tension. The modest scale allows the viewer to focus on the intricate details of the layered ink dots, appreciating the artist's meditative process up close. It captures a secluded corner of nature where silence dwells.
