The Sustainable Coexistence between Human and Nature

My practice based research challenges the dichotomous ontology that traditionally separates humans from nature, seeking pathways towards sustainable coexistence. The forest in the image emerges as an imaginary realm where the dream of harmonious living between humans and nature takes shape. It stands as a conduit and a wellspring of imagination, directing the course of my inquiry. As a Korean-Canadian, I regard the forest as a sanctum of healing, rejuvenating the body and spirit of humans and all other living entities. I hold the belief that every component of the forest, animate or inanimate, harbors a soul. This Image, infused with this consciousness, features a black-and-white forest background and juxtaposed a vibrantly colored space of human habitation. These dwellings, intentionally represented as smaller than the forest's ferns and moss, symbolize the notion that human existence is merely one aspect of the extensive natural ecosystem. This suggests that the journey toward coexistence with nature begins with the recognition of our own role as an integral part of the life-sustaining web, rather than as its dominators.
