Playing with Hangeul
Artists Statement: "Koreans have our own unique written language, so called Hangeul.....
This has made it possible to maintain our identity and develop a unique civilized society among other races or culture. It includes Um Yang Oh Haeng (The cosmic dual forces and the five elements which are metal, wood, water, fire and earth) and Sam Jae (The harmony of the three elements, namely, heaven, earth and human being) in its philosophy."
