A solo exhibition by sculptor Kim Un-seong, 'Between the Walls,' is on display until the 15th at Gallery Slow Time (느린시간). Kim, known for his socially engaging art since the 1980s, uses his sculptures to reflect collective memories of historical pain. His works, like the 'Statue of Peace' commemorating 'comfort women' (women forced into prostitution by the Japanese army during WWII) and memorials for victims of tragic events, serve as symbols of remembrance and justice. In this exhibition, he uses the symbol of a seed to convey hope and resilience amid stories of war and violence. The exhibition invites visitors to find solace and encouragement through Kim's art, representing growth, change, and possibility despite historical adversities.
