These works by Han Young-seop aren't simple abstractions but pieces condensing body, history, nature, and unconscious. Born in Pyeongannam-do, he directly experienced Korean War evacuation as child—collapsed walls and scattered debris from refugee roads emerge in today's works.

His method uses "rubbing" technique, directly collecting granite, perilla stems, corn stalks, and leaves from nature, then pounding and rubbing them on Korean paper.

Black traces repeat and overlap—these aren't drawn forms but actual traces made by pressing natural materials. His repeated pressing and rubbing is physical ritual summoning unspoken memory fragments.

Tree bark, stones, perilla stems—these ordinary yet precious materials are his working tools. Through familiar things, we encounter "response" rather than "landscape.“

Screens are mainly monochrome but never monotonous. Cracked lines flow irregularly, creating surface depth representing both natural organization and inner human fissures.
Standing before these quiet screens, we naturally ask: "What is memory? How does nature speak?“
