The painting radiates with lush greens, deep blacks, and striking yellows, evoking the vibrancy of a sunlit meadow or a dense forest bathed in golden light. Kwon’s unique technique—applying paint directly with her hands—creates an immersive, tactile quality that makes each stroke feel raw and organic. The thick impasto application enhances the depth of the work, giving it a sculptural presence that interacts dynamically with light and shadow.
A defining element of Humming Letter #108 is the white, handwritten script that flows across the upper portion of the canvas. This signature motif is an integral part of Kwon’s artistic language, reinforcing her exploration of the connection between visual art and sound. The raised text appears almost like a melodic imprint, a whispered phrase frozen in time, adding a layer of conceptual depth to the piece.
