About this artwork
Marriage and birth rates in South Korea have reached historic lows, while marriage itself is no longer considered a universal stage of life. Similar patterns can be seen in other highly competitive societies such as Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Competition brings people closer together, yet simultaneously drives them toward isolation.
This work adopts the composition of a traditional wedding photograph, but only the central figure has a physical… presence. The surrounding figures, drawn with a white marker in his hand, remain merely as traces of relationships that were never formed.
In a society where isolation has become structural rather than a matter of choice, the work quietly reveals the emotional void it leaves within the individual.

A painter by profession, Jungwan Chae boldly brings his military background to life. He employs anonymized, bald figures in suits to critique society, utilizing simple yet impactful beans to depict modern social realities. His art passionately expresses individual and collective dissatisfaction, stimulating dialogue about societal issues.
