About the Artwork
Unwanted Weeds VI by Jeonghui Lee
"A portrait of resilience reaching for the light." Jeonghui Lee continues her exploration of overlooked life in this tall, vertical composition. Painted on sturdy Jangji (thick Korean paper) with mineral pigments, the artwork captures the upward momentum of wild grass. The elongated format emphasizes the plant's drive to grow and survive, turning a simple weed into a symbol of aspiration and vitality. The texture of the Jangji adds a rugged, earthy depth that complements the subject perfectly.

Unlike standard paper, Jangji is thick and multi-layered. The print captures the specific fibrous texture of this traditional paper, making the artwork feel warm, solid, and organic—like bringing a piece of nature indoors.
