I'm Blue

Year

2021

Service

Exhibition Identity

Role

Freelance Graphic Designer

About

The exhibition "I'm Blue" by Luke Han, supported by the Korean Social Enterprise Promotion Agency, Lee Art Museum, and the state and local government (Gyeongsang-do, Sacheon-si), conveys a hopeful message during the pandemic. Using the color blue as a symbol of tranquility, it aims to uplift spirits and inspire resilience.

In the piece “Oneness, 2021,” one of the standout artworks in this exhibition, I perceive my personal expression of the artwork as a bubble in the deep sea, symbolizing the calmness and resilience found in nature. This imagery serves as the main idea, inviting audiences into the artist's comforting space during those times.
