Inspired by Monet's 'Water Lilies' series, this piece reinterprets the essence of Korean traditional dance. The lotus flower, emerging from the depths of dark mud beneath the water's surface, resonates with my life’s journey. Its deep-rooted foundation and pure white bloom embody resilience and beauty. The fleeting moments of the lotus bathed in the light of dawn, morning, and evening are expressed through the refined and elegant breath and movements unique to Korean dance.
