Creativity: The Language That Defines Us
From nothingness emerges being, as time creates form—a journey marked by persistent questions and fleeting moments of wonder before its essence takes shape. In an era where AI chatbots generate answers in mere seconds, even those answers echo the tireless efforts of countless individuals. The gaze that asks "Why?" and sees the world anew remains a uniquely human gift, an expressive language that belongs solely to us. Though their motivations may differ, we now turn to the stories of the people of SNU, who show how imagination and passion can be transformed into boundless possibilities.
The solo exhibition "Swipe Out" by Epäro, held in 2022
Epäro, a graduate of Seoul National University's College of Fine Arts in Oriental Painting, continues to captivate the public through numerous group and solo exhibitions. True to her
artist name, which encapsulates a personal philosophy of "Eat," "Paint," and "Love," she distills the essence of life into her artworks. The artist primarily draws inspiration from the
act of eating, using it to express the multifaceted nature of human life. In a world where nothing is purely sweet or beautiful, her paintings mirror the emptiness and fragility hidden
behind life’s radiant moments. The cover artwork, Birth, delves into the profound reflections on life’s origins, encased in the layers of a lavish cake, presenting another layer
of meaning.
