"Let me show you" (Kam gosi gi)

"Let me show you" extends a invitation, inviting viewers to embark on a journey of inner self-discovery—an expedition into the intricacies that shape one's identity. Amidst the allure of external pursuits, lies a realm within, waiting to be gently uncovered.

Crafted in 2022, this portrait was meticulously brought to life using a blue ballpoint pen on paper. A testament to patience and dedication, the creative process spanned over 500 hours—an investment of time and effort that resonates in every intricate detail. The shading technique employed is a delicate dance, employing light strokes that gradually layer to achieve the desired tonal values. A sense of precision is found in the methodical application of circular shades, each layer contributing to the harmonious interplay of light and shadow.

With this creation, the artist humbly presents an opportunity: to peer beneath the surface and explore the uncharted terrain within, where the true essence of self awaits its gentle revelation.
