Minjung Kim — Pieno di vuoto
Minjung Kim

Pieno di vuoto

2008

Minjung Kim's *Pieno di vuoto* (2008) is a delicate mixed media work rendered on mulberry Hanji paper, a traditional Korean material prized for its luminous, fibrous texture. The piece explores the paradox suggested by its Italian title, meaning "full of emptiness," balancing absence and presence through subtle layers of mark-making and the inherent translucency of the handmade paper. Kim's work embodies a meditative tension between material and void, inviting contemplation of the space between what is seen and what remains unseen.
