About The Artwork

House on the Mountain As I draw a house on the mountain, the act of scraping and peeling off the paint of nature becomes a metaphorical journey, revealing the true essence of the natural surroundings. Witnessing refugees, who endured the hardships of the Korean War, constructing homes on the mountain and resiliently continuing their lives in harmony with nature, brings forth a profound sense of vitality. Through this process, the mountain itself seems to embrace the refugees, imparting invaluable lessons about coexistence with nature. This poignant portrayal highlights a parallel with our own lives: still in a state of unsettlement, navigating through uncertainty, yet fueled by a growing self-awareness and a collective determination to move forward.

Mountains are mountains. I'm Park Han-ji, an artist who tells the story of a house built on a mountain. During the Korean War, many refugees gathered in Busan and built houses up to the top of the mountain. Even amidst the desperate desires of war-torn people, the mountains allowed houses and flowers to bloom. The mountain, which gives everything, is like a mother's arms. But aren't we modern refugees now searching for better homes and better lands? What is the path to co-prosperity? We try to find the answer to that in the nature of the mountain. Modern people, including myself, who live without settling down anywhere, seem anxious. It's no different from refugees who search for a place to live during a war. Even if the war is over, my path of escape will not end. I long for a settled life as I search for a way. I want to learn about a settled life from the attitude of the mountain that always stands there. Modern society is like a house built on a mountain, unstable and unsettled, much like the refugees who sought refuge there. It reflects my desire for dynamic movements, like planes and cars. I want to empty the essence of the mountain range as a white canvas and share many thoughts while working. I also borrow the image of a rock, where a house cannot be built, to represent a place where the values of nature and the world can rest for a while through a series of houses that cannot be built on rocks.
