Samhwa Paint Industrial stated, "Ride the Tide represents the process of choosing the direction of one's life with intuition and imagination, feeling a new rhythm, and creating one's own path and pace amid boundless waves. In a time when new waves such as artificial intelligence (AI) agents are arriving, we propose viewing change not as something to fear, but as a rhythm to embrace and immerse oneself in."
