As "Have You Ever Fallen in Love?" enters its final weeks, we revisit "Burst or Bloom", one of the works featured in Hyangmok Baik’s solo exhibition, through the artist’s own words:
"This painting inhabits a space of ambiguity, capturing a moment suspended between blossoming and rupture, tenderness and pain. The figures appear tense, as though they have just witnessed an event unfold before them. They stand as silent observers, yet the nature of what has occurred remains uncertain. Has something tragic taken place? Or have they witnessed the moment of falling in love?
By refusing a clear answer, the work draws attention to the uneasy proximity between these experiences. Love often arrives in its most radiant form, yet it carries within it the potential for profound vulnerability and loss."
