To the Ruins
Produced in 1986 and published by Shirota Gallery, Tokyo, this portfolio of etchings by Korean-born Mono-ha artist Lee Ufan exemplifies his meditative exploration of presence, absence, and the passage of time. Each sheet, numbered 40/50 and signed and dated by the artist in pencil, is preserved loose as issued within individual paper folders, housed in an elegant teal linen-covered portfolio. *To the Ruins* reflects Ufan's enduring philosophical inquiry into the relationship between matter and void, inviting quiet contemplation of what remains when form begins to dissolve.
