While Hong’s previous works expanded radially around a single reference point, this 2023 work is filled with pens and pencils that expand around two center points. The artist, who wanted to create a work that would make viewers feel cathartic, repeatedly drew and painted, strongly expressing the materiality of plastic, creating a work that is full and without margins. Expressed with no margins and a rather low color saturation, the work seems to represent the dark life of modern people who suffer from compulsion behind constant desire.
