Seungbeom Son reproduces ancient statues that act as the object or medium of faith together with the archetypal shape of the boulder, and then boldly erases these objects with trivial weeds or thin, brittle-looking branches. Behind blind belief or change, there are certain things that are forgotten and alienated. The artist proposes that before placing faith in something, we who are accustomed to stereotypical ways of thinking must reexamine the validity of such beliefs, and seek and ruminate upon the essential nature of things.
