I’m honored to have presented my outdoor installation project, Embracing the Void: Winds-scape in the Flint Hills (비워내기: 초원의 바람), at the Counterpoint Music, Art & Conservation Festival on June 4, 2022, held at Flint Hills Counterpoint Home Base in Peabody, Kansas.
This work visualizes the symbiotic relationship between nature and humanity, inspired by the concept of Psithurism—the sound of wind whispering through trees, symbolizing the long-lost intimate dialogue between humans and the natural world.
Using plastic fishing wire (monofilament) and natural fibers, I installed panels beneath tree branches to evoke a vision of harmonious coexistence. These artificial structures serve as interpreters or catchers of the wind’s voice—an element we often overlook—inviting viewers to embrace nature’s mysterious and restorative force.
