Lee In-ho: Solo Exhibition (Arirang Landscape)

Do all blessing and happiness bloom from pain, patience, and tears as their soil and seed? The moment a girl becomes a mother, she faces the world like a strong warrior, like an ancient tree that has weathered centuries of wind and rain. A cactus growing in barren land must root itself even deeper than its own height merely to survive. What we see of the world may only be a small fragment of a world unseen. Lee In-ho's new work is a song of life bloomed through hardship and weariness, resembling the birdsong and windsound we long to hear again and again. We hope that in this exhibition, many visitors will set down the heavy burdens on their shoulders and realize that happiness is close at hand, and that what matters most lives within their own hearts — a time for healing. We invite you all.
