Ha Won

Ha Won is an artist who has steadily built a personal idiom of expression. Her art interprets nature on a conceptual and existential level. She uses materials for their essential character but contrasts illusion and reality. For her, the process of repetition both fosters and negates individuality. Through repetition she retains the basic qualities of her subject, the materials, and herself.
