The Inner Path
2006, closed size: 16 x 24, Page number: 108 (for each left and right side) + 4 end sheets, edition size: 2, screenprint on wedged-cut Japanese paper (Warahanshi), Natural pigment, Coptic binding, and mixed medium
Each page contains 108 possible combinations of 14 words — evoking a sense (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind), an aspect of time (past, present, future), a characteristic of the heart (pure, impure), and an emotional preference (like, dislike, indifferent) is printed on each page. In this sculptural book, the piled-up texts on the 108 pages form the figure of a conceptual path or way. On the final page of this book, the path of 108 is completed. The texts on the left part of the book are printed in English and the right in Korean.
