Artist Statement
August 15th, Independence Day (광복절), is the only national holiday still celebrated by both North and South Korea. In a divided nation, this shared remembrance is rare and powerful. My design begins with this truth: before separation, there was unity—and in 1945, we regained the same light together.
At the center, I reinterpreted the four trigrams of the Taegukgi (건, 곤, 감, 리), arranging them in a radiating burst to symbolize the return of “light” (광복) and the collective energy of liberation.
Behind this, alternating red and blue stripes represent the nine provinces of South Korea and the nine of North Korea. Placed side by side, they reflect balance, coexistence, and a hope for reunification.
My design is bold and symbolic, yet deeply rooted in history. The burst of light represents not only the moment of liberation, but also the enduring hope for a united future.
