Zentangle Obangsaek

Zentangle, a word combining "Zen" and "tangle," represents the meditative and creatively intertwined patterns found in arts and crafts. The five pieces in this collection feature colors inspired by the five-element theory of ancient oriental philosophy in Korea: yellow, red, blue, white, and black. Through machine sewing, I create intricate patterns that bring me a sense of calm and reveal the hidden potential of the materials. The title and process of Zentangle reflect the harmonious blend of tranquility and artistic exploration, inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty of these meticulously crafted pieces.
