“Never enter the Kingdom of Heaven, unless become like little children…
I am Praying at the altar of stones…
The EternalKingdom is just like this.”
HyunsunPark’s works of art are religious symbols of eternity where we can reach through transcendental purity.The symbols of eternity based on fundamental materials and methods in art like clay and terra cotta show both childlike purity and wishful evidence of the kingdom of heaven, the terminal, eternal world being fullness of perfect satisfaction. The images of the heaven and the way for the heaven are representational one and all. The reality and understanding caused by the representation make a point of allegory of the eternal kingdom which Park wishes to convey with her works.
Never enter the Kingdom of Heaven, unless become like little children.
HyunsunPark believes that the reality of our life is a trip toward the eternity and the pure guide for the way is very little children. Park tries to show that we can never enter the kingdom of heaven, unless become like the little children. Park finds the image of heaven with the one of a newborn baby, twins, brother and sister very much alike, and a student hanging her head. All of them are Park’s neighbors. It is to directly show the relationships between the childlike purity and the heaven to adults who are missing their fundamentally important things in the earthly surroundings. Park chooses the way to emphasis symbolic meaning with representation, in the circuiting areas of abstraction, representation, and symbols. Stressing the clarity and simplicity of image, Park represents the abstract image of the heaven with pure children and the images show the symbolic Word visually and clearly.
Praying at the altar of stones.
HyunsunPark makes a choice an altar and praying hands as an evidence of earnestly wish for the eternal life of human beings on disunion and depravity. The altar and hands are also symbol of a natural recurrence took hold on human inside deeply for recovering the purity of beginning of the world. The altar of stones becomes stone walls and then an enclosure. The enclosure fulfilled with complete purity is the very Kingdom of Heaven. Wood enclosures, stone altars, and praying hands are all of hopeful messages for our wish to the eternal moment after the end of momentary earthly life.
The EternalKingdom is just like this.
‘We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal (2 Corinthians ).’ Park chases after the unseen eternity with seen images of child. She presents familiar images for the transcendental and absolute abundance of the kingdom of Heaven being like treasure hidden in a field. Park expects at heart that people can meet the eternal world where is absent in thirsty, suffering, sin and death, but is fulfill with hope and joy. ■
