ABOUT THE ARTWORK

A mountain is a mountain even if it contains water. A mountain is a mountain even if it blooms. We are looking for a way to live by projecting our lives into the mountains. I think the deep foundation that the guide suggests will become order and become stronger in our society. Even in a war of human greed, they give us everything like a mother caring for a child. It is said that Busan was settled deep in the mountains where people did not live as refugees flocked at once during the Korean War. Nature gave them a place in the face of a war in which everything was destroyed and a haven. The mountain ranges left behind in nature feel as solid vitality as a sign that gives to those who have endured countless hours silently. Sometimes they capture the sea, they capture the forest, and they capture the house, but whatever they contain, they seem to say, "I am the mountain." The mountain ranges project the unchanging order of the mountains, leaving the white canvas itself empty. I felt relaxed in the resting place and learned to appreciate it. Appreciation teaches moderation.

Mountains Are Mountains I am Park Han-ji, an artist who tells the story of a house built on a mountain. During the Korean War, countless refugees gathered in Busan, building homes that stretched up to the mountain peaks. Even amid the desperation of war, the mountains made room for both houses and flowers to bloom. The mountain, in its generous embrace, is like a mother’s arms—steadfast and giving. But aren't we modern refugees too, constantly searching for better homes, better lands? What is the path to mutual prosperity? In the nature of the mountain, I seek answers. For people like me, who live unsettled lives, always in motion, there is a certain anxiety. It feels no different from the refugees of war, endlessly searching for a place to call home. Even after the war, my journey of escape never seems to end. I yearn for the stability of a settled life, and I look to the mountain, which stands unmoved, to learn what that means. Modern society resembles a house built on a mountain—unstable, unsettled—much like the refugees who once sought refuge there. It mirrors my desire for movement and change, symbolized by the dynamic flow of planes and cars. Through my work, I aim to strip away the essence of the mountain, leaving it as a blank canvas, a space to share thoughts and reflections. I also draw on the image of the rock, a place where no home can stand, as a metaphor—a resting point for the values of nature and the world, through the portrayal of houses that cannot be built on rocks.
