Based on an interest in 'how a wishing heart manifests in daily life,' Seokwoo Chung visualizes the energy emitted when a being strives toward something. He is fascinated by the flow of consciousness formed from cause and effect, and by the culture of wishes permeating the mundane. Drawing inspiration from the fundamental cultures of various religions, his current work extends the realm of the canvas by basing it on painting and incorporating installations in space. He implements a device that amplifies the characteristics of each, by going through various processes with painting works that correspond to the nature of specific spaces or places.

<Vessel> is a piece from the project "Habitat," which signifies a study of the way flat paintings are displayed and their expansion into space. It represents an attempt to expand the domain of painting by applying the connection and method between the artist's current work and living in the same space and reconfiguring and relocating it to new spaces around them. The project centers on flat paintings and includes the surrounding living area and elements that influence them in the exhibition layout. By connecting with environmental elements, it amplifies emotions and often provides clues for conceptualizing future works through installation activities.
