Money (2023)

The artwork visually captures the complex meaning of “Money,” as its title suggests. The figure, wearing a traditional Korean straw hat (satgat), has their face partially obscured or distorted by crumpled bills. This powerfully expresses how material value defines and distorts an individual’s essence or identity. The work gravely portrays the dark side of modern society, where money transcends being a mere means of survival to dominate both the internal and external aspects of humanity.
