About the artwork

Korean artist Ran Hwang is known for creating intriguing and breathtaking wall installations. With buttons, crystals, pins, and threads as paint, she creates large-scale wall installations in a quasi-meditative process. Her use of fashion industry items to create grandiose images is a metaphor of how allure, glamour, and fashion take a turn toward beauty. Created by fashion, beauty goes beyond it and has a greater resonance: a pin by itself cannot achieve beauty, but the assemblage of thousands of it, merged with the laborious working process of the artist, results in flamboyant creations representing natural and divine. "In doing so, she implicitly suggests a difference or contrast between the two. While glamour functions as a temporal manifestation of the exterior, beauty reads as a phenomenon emanating from within."
