In her latest creations, Kang Yeh-sin draws inspiration from her personal experiences, particularly her childhood memories spent with her grandmother in a countryside home. The artist, in preparation for the exhibit, revisited the now-abandoned residence, uncovering dusty remnants like cracked earthenware, rusty handcarts, and faded rubber basins.
Recalling her childhood practice of assigning names to animals and objects around her, including rabbits, geese, cats, squirrels, traditional Korean wooden podiums ("maru"), and even the toilet, Kang Yeh-sin sought to recapture the essence of that time. In her artist's note, she expressed the act of abandoning her imaginative world for years but rediscovering it during her recent visit.

"Timeless" aims to immortalize these long-forgotten creatures in Kang Yeh-sin's imagined and comforting universe through a series of warm and painterly works. The exhibition provides viewers with a glimpse into the artist's personal journey of reconnecting with childhood memories and the universality of nostalgia.
Attendees have the opportunity to experience "Timeless" at The Trinity Gallery, where Kang Yeh-sin's 16 new works will be on display until January 26, 2024.
