In My Garden, Yoo Miseon gathers floral forms into a luminous, almost weightless composition. Rather than describing a garden literally, she builds it through layers of hanji, mineral pigments, and metallic leaf, allowing individual forms to emerge, overlap, and recede across the surface.
What makes the work particularly engaging in person is its response to light. The metallic elements catch and release light subtly as the viewer moves, shifting the balance of color and depth without becoming overtly reflective. At different moments, certain details come forward while others seem to dissolve into the surface.
Delicate yet materially complex, My Garden rewards close and repeated viewing—the painting never appears quite the same twice.
