The "Landscape" series, which consists of close-up shots of stones and rocks arranged to evoke the feeling of vast mountains, and the "Orchid" series, which uses plastic waste-a contributor to environmental issues-to depict orchids, a symbol of purity, both create an intriguing contrast between materials and finished forms, captivating visitors' attention.

Meanwhile, since its opening in 1995, Gwangju Shinsegae has discovered and supported artists from the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions every year through the Gwangju Shinsegae Art Festival.
