			can be happened to anyone and always can be repeated. However, the point that Bang focuses on is not to objectively record the universal characteristics of objects that exist externally. Instead, she tries to re-trace what subjective meanings arise depending on various conditions and backgrounds and how her senses expand by perceiving these vulnerable things.


 

A little imagination followed by the situation she faced. Can the speed of moving light by captured as an image? Can dust particles that glisten in the light penetrate the walls? Would the man stand alone in the vast land melt into the landscape at some point? Can the house you see every day is changing its appearance all the time? Phenomenological questions soon become clues to determine the perspective that Bang creates. For example, the flickering lights on the three connected canvas of Night, Grain(2019) overlaps the gentle vibrations over the darkness. Numerous brush strokes laid on the top of wavelength chase the faint instants of brightness. Moving silver trajectory converges to draw a movement of the light. The flow of air in Wind Line (2019) resembles the motion of the surging waves that generating bubbles. Lines that flow from here to there intertwine to represent the curves of the wind. All of these sceneries grasp the things sensed on the border of corps before being logically understood. To do so, she actively tries to reach to the moment rather than waiting for a particular physical phenomenon to arrive at her body. In particular, Shallow Series (2017-ongoing) is a serial work that she gives herself a performative device to detect differences of sensitivity in her life. Bang records the shape of the light that leaks out of the roadside window every day. When she returns to the studio, she releases the traces of light and darkness on the oil-soaked paper that remained on her eyes, skin, and thoughts. Space, where the darkness has left, becomes the one for today's light to settle down.

 

Continuing seemingly meaningless acts is to ask the following questions; what the state of the universe is surrounding her? How they and herself are interconnected? Bang seeks for the occasions when an unfamiliar experience arising from a gap within the reality dismantle the information of a particular place and extends the dimensions of time and space. The moment may be seemed so insignificant and opaque to someone that it may not imply any particular narrative. However, the day when she brings up that fragile sense becomes a clear clue for her to perceive the existence of an individual in the world. Therefore, what we see today at her solo exhibition entitled <Floating Moments>, are the fragments of the landscape of vibration of light and shade that are condensed by the senses inherent in her mind.
