Abstract
As people walk 80 feet surrounded by mural work, there are words on podiums that invite people to sit and reflect. Won Ryu’s poems are their own reflections of his life in college and abstractions of his philosophy of life. A poem was written each day, and it would almost feel like writing letters to himself. The painting mirrors Ryu’s subconscious mind through abstractions of shapes and colors and, from afar, forms arise. Whatever way people walk through the space, there is a rising sequence to the way Ryu adds colors or forms; every brushwork per foot has unique and subtle details that are noticeable close up.
