This space presents Breath of Nature, a series of large-scale ink paintings by Korean artist Oh Sook Hwan.

Through the traditional medium of ink, Oh visualizes the invisible forces of nature—light, wind, space, and time—not by depicting concrete forms, but by translating her embodied experience of the natural world into rhythmic, meditative surfaces.

The Breath of Nature series captures organic patterns reminiscent of desert sands, ocean ripples, and atmospheric flows. These forms emerge through the controlled spreading of ink, its delicate gradations, and the repetition of brushwork—producing a quiet, breathing rhythm across the surface.

Oh’s paintings are not planned toward a predetermined image. Rather, she follows the flow of water and ink, allowing the forms to surface naturally through repetition, patience, and attunement. Each work is a durational process, a kind of painterly ritual that invites slowness and deep concentration.

The intricate lines and tonal shifts evoke traces of growth, the folds of the earth, or the passage of wind—not as literal representations of nature, but as visualizations of how nature moves, pulses, and breathes.

In the simple interplay of black ink and white space, viewers are invited to encounter the deep breath of nature—its quiet vitality and quiet power.

Oh Sook Hwan’s work does not speak loudly.
Instead, it offers a space of grounded sensation,
where one may pause, perceive, and breathe again—with the world.
