Through this exhibition, three artists—Byungcheol CHOI, Younghun HONG, and Minwoo JEONG—invite us into their worlds.

Byungcheol CHOI reimagines everyday landscapes through a creative and imaginative lens, transforming them into dreamlike compositions on canvas. Younghun HONG explores how we perceive and interact with animals through his paintings, encouraging reflection on our relationship with nature. Minwoo JEONG captures the fluidity and beauty of human movement, expressing the grace and rhythm of dance in his works.

In addition, the exhibition features the collaborative performance video <Circle of Nature>, created by Korean visual artists and the Canadian dance group Propeller Dance. Drawing inspiration from the featured artists' works, the performance uses expressive movement to portray the cycles of growth, connection, and transformation in nature.

The three artists, all on the autism spectrum, share their experiences and perspectives through their art. Their works serve as a bridge, fostering a dialogue between the artists and the audience and inspiring us to see the everyday in new and meaningful ways.
