Processed Whimsy by Jang Won Lee

Even in dazzling cities, the need can come suddenly, yet finding an available restroom is nearly impossible.
Those works visualize the intensely arduous journey of searching for a toilet that seems never to appear.
The solid, coarse metallic texture conveys the tension that can make anyone contemplate the unthinkable.

DECISION REVERSIBILITY

Even after making a choice, doubt can surface quietly. Progress does not always lead where one first intended.
Turning back may feel like sheer wasted effort at times, yet it can seem much wiser than continuing forward.
A bright yellow return key stands among muted gray keys, suggesting reversal as the brightest possible choice.

PARALLEL COEXISTENCE

Even when facing a challenging and harsh present, what lies ahead is not always what guides us.
This work places a side mirror beside reality, reflecting a scene full of warmth and coziness.
Within the mirror, what is desired feels closer, suggesting happiness may already be within reach.
