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.

 
Yellow (Equilateral Triangle/Rhythm and Circularity of Nature)
The 'Equilateral Triangle', a perfect form structured by three precise axes, is used as the motif. This reflects the ideal insight into unification and the perpetuity of nature's circulation, aiming for an analytical approach to the harmonious structure and repetition inherent in nature, existing beyond the human domain.

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.
