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.
Red (Circle Transcendent Order of the Cosmos)
The units initiate from the 'Circle', inspired by the parabolic structure of the cosmic world and its endless rotation. The curvilinear and non-uniform shapes are composed to express the transcendent tension arising before the Eternal Chasm, structurally encapsulating physical phenomena and shifts in power—such as gravity, energy migration, orbits, and light—as reflected in the cosmos.

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.
