Artist Choi Young-wook's work always begins with one fundamental question: “What traces does life leave, and where do those traces go?” He has explored this question for more than 20 years under the name ‘Karma.’ Karma is not just the title of a series, but the central concept that drives his pictorial world, defining both his attitude toward existence and the way he relates to the world. For the artist, the line of the moon jar is not a reproduction of an actual crack, but a drawing that holds his own story; in the way those lines meet, part, and reconnect, he has read the cycle of life. From that process came the title Karma, a name that does not remain within a specific religious interpretation, but holds the belief that a life lived earnestly eventually returns as something positive. This exhibition is organized into four sections: exploration, discovery, internalization, and expansion. These four journeys go beyond formal divisions and trace the flow of thought across the artist's 30-year body of work, visualizing the path by which his pictorial life has matured. As viewers follow the artist's journey, they can reflect on their own karma, go deeper into their inner world, and quietly contemplate their own lives. This exhibition hopes to open a small door to that kind of reflection.
