Dangpungdo - Autumn Carp

This work captures a moment of heightened vitality through the movement of maple leaves and carp. Beyond a seasonal landscape, it reflects on the transformation of accumulated energy into fruition over time. The red maple leaves emerge as a result of enduring the intensity of Summer. Their color is not merely a change, but a condensation of passion and perseverance. They signify a state of completion - a moment reached after passing through a cycle of time. The carp, moving against the current, embodies sustained will and upward force. Traditionally, it represents the act of surpassing limitation and advancing toward a higher state of being. Together, these elements converge within a single flow. - DUCOBI
