Kusama similarly employs obsessive repetition of a single elemental motif across a canvas surface, creating meditative and hypnotic works that blur the boundary between abstraction and representation, much like Kim's repeated water droplet forms.

Celmins renders natural phenomena such as ocean surfaces and night skies with extraordinary precision and repetitive patterning, sharing Kim's contemplative focus on nature, surface, and the meditative act of sustained observation through meticulous technique.

Laib creates quietly meditative works using elemental natural materials in repetitive arrangements, reflecting a deeply philosophical approach to nature and time that closely parallels the contemplative spirit and natural subject matter of Kim's waterdrops series.
