Bac Jungwon has drawn compositional paintings that express the invisible emotions and minds of humans through various scenes encountered in daily life. After receiving a bachelor's and master's degree in Fine Arts from Kookmin University, she painted unusual, dreamlike, and dramatic situations, but in her mid-30s, she began to paint natural objects and everyday landscapes. Her paintings reveal the fragile psychology and feelings of contemporary people, which are concealed beneath the solid shell of civilization. The artist portrays difficult-to-express psychological levels through a variety of painting mediums, including sketching, watercolor, and oil painting. It defines creation as the discovery of remarkable moments in the repetition of her previous everyday existence and the transformation of the meaning into a material known as painting and reconstructs a daily life from her own unique perspective.

Bac Jungwon is an artist who continually captures and reflects on extraordinary moments found within repetitive daily life through her paintings. She frequently paints watercolors focusing on the theme of 'withering flower vases', capturing the ephemeral moment when a perfectly poised flower starts to lose its original color and vitality. Beyond a simple still life, this imagery becomes a metaphor for the frailty of human life. Following the painter's destiny of capturing fleeting moments, she becomes an observer of everyday life and documents this process. 'Lonely flower' serves as a continuation of these works, narrating the tale of a flower that, while graceful, is in its most grotesque stage as it withers. Park captures the frail, twisted shape of the flower, reminiscent of thin, long fingers, and the faded hue of its petals on a large canvas, exaggerating and boldly representing it. She pours, rubs, wipes, and scrapes paint on the canvas, utilizing a technique that conveys the beauty and simultaneous dread of the notion of death.
