Greetings from the Representative Director
I want to always feel the present
Experiencing art and culture also means meeting people from different eras, regions and values. Each work is woven with the artist's background, social situation and personal feelings, and interpreting it helps us to understand and empathize with others.
Furthermore, the act of creating something yourself is also an "inner journey" that deepens your dialogue with yourself.
Creativity is a way to give form to feelings that cannot be put into words and to make latent thoughts visible. In the process, we can rediscover the contours of our own values and sensibilities and become aware of the differences between us and others.
If we think about it this way, art is not simply "beauty," but may be like a light that leads us to "questions," "awareness," and "connections."
