In this work I have woven a meeting place for two distinct artistic legacies: the delicate, secret romance of Korean master Shin Yun-Bok’s Lovers Under the Moon and the expressive, swirling energy of Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night. By translating these iconic paintings into a hand-woven textile using silk and wool on a TC2 loom, I aim to unify Korean tradition with Western Post-Impressionism. My imagination creates a new, tactile ‘cartoon’ where these two worlds coexist in a single piece.
