“Arirang 2.0” is an installation inspired by the Korean folk song Arirang (아리랑), a song deeply rooted in Korean culture and often regarded as a national anthem.

Through my own journey of migration, I came to understand Arirang as a song of longing, resilience, and hope. I wanted to translate that emotional landscape into a visual form. While listening to Arirang, I imagined the movement of dance and a journey across winding hills. This feeling is expressed through forms that shift from angular to circular, and from vibrant colors to soft, transparent layers.

At the same time, the work reveals how discarded recyclable materials can be transformed beyond simple reuse, sublimated into new life, beauty, and hope.
