Artist Kwon So-jin explores themes of perception and personal value in her solo exhibition "I Saw a Hummingbird," held from February 6 to 28 at Art Side Temporary in Seoul. Through her artwork titled 'Shadow Thief,' Kwon probes the boundaries between what is seen and remembered, juxtaposing drawn and printed elements with voids that challenge viewer interpretations. Her pieces often unexpectedly incorporate hummingbird-like imagery, disrupting conventional thought processes. The exhibition delves into existential questions, inspired by a childhood memory where Kwon believed she saw a hummingbird—only to find out later in life there are no hummingbirds in Korea. This exploration of absence and memory encourages viewers to reflect on the genuine and the false, the subjective nature of truth, and how childhood memories shape perception.
