Being modest and diffident
I see that the time is not absolute in the eyes of the students who are preparing the graduate exhibition.
Even if it was a very ordinary time for others, it would have been a very tense moment for those who are
close to the graduation exhibition.
Whether you are setting up a work plan, preparing materials and media, completing tasks through action,
or rearranging your thoughts while watching work in progress, nothing is more important. However, it is
important to realize how serious your work process is and what it means to you and the people around you.
The way to all of us may be different. I do not know if I should focus on what others I am facing because the
existence of others facing me has been divided into too many branches since post-structuralism. As we have
said, and as you and your juniors have said, it is now a more uncertain society. The future is also anxious. But
the artists who are facing a graduation exhibition have been developing and cultivating their own four-year
process of self-expression through work, reflecting themselves in the mirror of the existence of a specialized
person. When I look back on four years of growing and disciplining myself, the time seemed to be endless,
but the records of the process are now contained in these works. Graduation works have various media,
content and expression since each other's way of life are all different.
If we can tie them together, it would be a paradigm of contemporary spirit.
As the impressionist, we will consider the intention and technique of the artist, the meaning of the period,
the modernity, the level of the material, the perfection of the technique, etc. according to each method.
Even so…
In front of their fully reflected inexplicable paradigms, we have modesty as an established generation. In
addition, graduates must learn caution to older generations. Here is a mirror that confronts and reflects each
other.
As a matter of fact, I send endless affection and respect between the boundaries established by the different
graduate exhibitors in front of the graduation exhibition where the first sight, the hearing and the sense of
smell are displayed.
