This photograph captures the great conjunction of Jupiter and Venus, observed and photographed through a telescope in South Korea on March 2, 2023. In the southwestern sky, the two planets approached each other so closely that they appeared almost touching. Such great conjunctions occur only once every few to ten years, making the moment both rare and fleeting. As I observed this alignment firsthand, I felt a deep sense of awe toward the invisible gravitational forces quietly guiding the movement of these distant bodies.

The universe is structured by forces that cannot be seen. In a similar way, art gives form to invisible flows of emotion, energy, and thought. Through this process, art reveals patterns that may resonate with the underlying structure of the universe itself.

Venus and Jupiter are independent entities, each orbiting at a different speed, yet at a certain moment they meet. The same convergence occurs in art, where an artist’s thoughts, experiences, and skills align to give birth to a single work.
