A densely packed constellation of triangular forms, each individually wrapped in layers of aged Korean mulberry paper, emerges from the board's surface in dramatic relief. Chun Kwang-Young's meticulous process of wrapping and bundling the paper-covered styrofoam units references both the traditional Korean practice of wrapping medicinal herbs and the cellular structures found in nature. The warm, muted tones of the weathered mulberry paper — marked with traces of old text and calligraphy — create a richly textured surface that evokes themes of memory, community, and cultural identity.
