Dozens of artificially crossed varieties and names, such as Cheonhyehyang, Hallabong, Karahyang, Hwanggeumhyang, Redhyang, Jinjihyang, and Cheonggyeon, are displayed in the exhibition space. Although their ancestors are few, they differ in shape and size due to the variety of breeding. The landscape created by clusters of similar shape makes it more difficult to distinguish them. This is in line with the problem of made by the artist. This work, in which the wicks that get smaller and smaller by peeling the onion layers one by one, are cast by plaster, is placed right next to this citrus landscape. Like a senior artist who said, ‘Painting from nature is not copying the object; it is realising one’s sensations,’ the artist’s approach to revealing the various layers inherent in the subject beyond simple visual and phenomenal problems is revealed.
