Blessing II – Fragments of Grace

Everyone has their own definition of what a blessing means. For some, it is abundance — of love, health, or fortune. For others, it is peace within the soul.

In my first work, Blessing I, blessings descended from above like a divine gift — light pouring gently into the world. But in this second piece, Blessing II, I imagined blessings not as a single flow, but as countless fragments scattered across humanity.

Each folded piece represents a portion of grace, a reminder that every person receives their own measure of blessing — different in form, yet equal in meaning. Together, these fragments gather into one collective prayer — a quiet offering of gratitude, and a reflection on the infinite ways light touches our lives.

모든 사람은 ‘축복’을 다르게 정의합니다. 누군가에게는 사랑과 건강, 혹은 풍요일 수도 있고, 다른 누군가에게는 마음 깊은 곳의 평안일 수도 있습니다.

첫 번째 작품 Blessing I에서는 하늘에서 내려오는 빛처럼 세상에 쏟아지는 축복을 표현했습니다. 하지만 Blessing II에서는 그 축복이 사람들 각자에게 나누어지는 수많은 조각으로 바뀌었습니다.

하나하나의 접힌 종이는 각자에게 주어진 은혜의 조각이며, 그 형태는 다르지만 의미는 같습니다. 이 모든 조각이 모여 세상에 대한 감사와 희망의 기도로 이어지길 바랐습니다. 빛은 언제나 다른 모습으로 우리 삶을 비춥니다.

언덕 넘어서 1~3 | Over the Hill Series

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...
