About The Work

The BYR 99 Prime Elements series constitutes a core axis that visually actualizes the concept of the Schematic Medium. This series is composed of 99 units—33 each in Blue, Yellow, and Red. Each unit possesses a diameter of 45.72cm and a thickness of 2.54cm, designed as circular forms capable of 360-degree rotation from the center.

 
Blue (Square/Human Possibility and Boundary within the World)
The 'Square' is adopted as the fundamental form, captured during the process of following the movement of lines within a circle. This symbolizes the finite boundary of reality experienced by the perceptive subject. Through the diverse combination, expansion, and integration of lines, it structurally renders the conscious human order and its inherent limitations.

The 99 BYR units, constructed in this manner, evolve through physical integration or chemical fusion, creating formal indices of change, equilibrium, and unification. Each unit operates as a crucial fundamental element revealing experiences directly observed by my body and mind in every moment of life. Consequently, the 'BYR 99 Prime Elements' are not fixed formal completions of my artistic style but rather organic structures that continuously reflect and evolve with my attitude toward life and my ongoing self-reflection.
