Birth of Hope | Hand-Dyed Paper Art

The work “Birth of Hope” is created by hand-dyeing paper and folding it using a traditional Korean paper-folding technique. It expresses the desire to find hope even in times of despair, visually reflecting the possibilities of life and faith. Rooted in Christian belief, this piece conveys a message of hope and salvation through the birth of Jesus, inviting viewers to experience light and encouragement even amidst life’s challenges.

작품 「Birth of Hope」는 손으로 염색한 한지를 전통적인 한국 종이접기 기법으로 접어 제작한 작품입니다. 절망 속에서도 희망을 찾고자 하는 마음을 담아, 삶의 가능성과 신앙을 시각적으로 표현했습니다. 특히, 이 작품은 예수님의 탄생을 통한 희망과 구원의 메시지를 담고 있으며, 관람자가 삶의 어려움 속에서도 빛과 소망을 느낄 수 있도록 의도되었습니다.

언덕 넘어서 I 언덕 넘어서 II 언덕 넘어서 III Over the Hill Series | 언덕 넘어서 Ⅰ–Ⅲ The “Over the Hill Ⅰ–Ⅲ” series is created using hand-dyed fabric and mixed media techniques. Climbing a windy hill, only to look down and see everything swept away by the wind, evokes a sense of emptiness. This series visually explores the journey of life, human effort, and the void we often encounter at its culmination. Through layered textures and materials, each piece conveys the weight and transience of life. 바람 부는 언덕에 올라서서 내려다보니... 모든 것이 바람과 함께 지나가 버렸다. 작품 시리즈 「언덕 넘어서 Ⅰ–Ⅲ」 는 손으로 염색한 천과 다양한 재료를 활용한 믹스미디어 작업입니다. 바람 부는 언덕을 힘겹게 올라 내려다보면, 모든 것이 바람과 함께 사라져버린 듯한 허무함을 느낍니다. 이 시리즈는 인생의 여정과 노력, 그리고 그 끝에서 마주하는 공허함을 시각적으로 표현합니다. 각 작품은 재료의 질감과 층을 통해 삶의 무게와 덧없음을 전달하고자 했습니다. © Jaclyn Bae | Mixed Media on Hand-Dyed Fabric #OverTheHill #언덕넘어서 #MixedMediaArt #HandDyedFabric #FiberArt #ContemporaryArt ...

Art works-Window Installation

Image
  Window Series Through the medium of windows, this series explores the landscapes of the mind and the inner light. A window is not only a frame that looks outward, but also a mirror that reflects the self. By combining materials such as transparent silk, denim, handmade paper, and real branches, these works express stories of memory, growth, and connection. Hidden emotions and emerging hope overlap like light and shadow, weaving together the layers of life. A window defines the boundary between the inside and the outside, and on this threshold, each piece becomes a scene that constantly changes with light and time. The viewer is invited to look beyond the window and discover their own story reflected within the work. Window Installation I My second installation was created for my deck window using gray transparent silk. I cut black nylon into the shape of a tree, and added round forms made from recycled denim and color...
