기원 (ORIGIN)
시간과 삶의 깊이를 성장과 변화
라는 조형적 언어로 시간의 변화에
따른 생명의 잉태와 탄생 그리고
성장을 의미하는 작품

[The growth and change of the depth of time and life is the
language of the passage of time leading to another conception
and birth, so this sculpture carries the meaning of growth.]
This abstract sculpture consists of three figures, each of a different height of approximately two feet, four feet, and six feet. With some imagination they may represent a man, woman and child, but without any distinguishing characteristics. Th sculpture is mounted on a flat, round stone base and is situated on a busy street corner surrounded by crowded street-side businesses, and an entrance to a lower level restaurant. Probably thousands of people passe this sculpture everyday. How many pause to appreciated its form and meaning?
