Ephemeral Slidity is a handmade multi-wallcovering installation and interior textile design project
that explores the harmony between humans and nature and the value of the present,
drawing from the concepts of the Anthropocene and Eastern philosophy.
The project focuses on the attitude of ‘무위자연’,
which is living in harmony with nature, focusing on the present.
Therefore, this project aims to explore a visual language that conveys the attitude of ‘무위자연’,
which is not in control.
We live in an AI-driven world that always has answers.
But human life doesn’t. There is no right or wrong way to live well.
Human life is inseparable from deep thinking and a meditative mind.
To me, harmony is about finding one's own rhythm,
which is a self-meditative attitude of being present
by aligning with nature’s flow and respecting all values.
In this project, the hand-drawing process plays a central role.
Rather than focusing on a single visual result,
I approached each layer slowly and intentionally.
By layering colours over and over, and building each element through repetitive line work,
I constructed the image patiently, step by step.
Each line marks a moment of presence,
a trace of my existence embedded in the flow of nature.
This meditative process takes time, patience, and experience.
In a world full of disharmony, perhaps what we truly need is to slow down
and reflect on what it means to live with authenticity.
By embracing slowness and mindfulness in both creation and experience,
this project highlights how textiles can be more than decoration.
It can be a vital medium that cultivates emotional balance and genuine human connection
in an increasingly artificial world.

1. Interior Textile Collection
This interior textile collection show a idea as showcasing,
where I aim to present a harmonious blend of textures, colours, and patterns
that reflect all of my process and exploration,
blending both of my philosophy and modern design in comercial potential.
This collection consists of two mural wallcovering designs,
two of wallpapers, and five fabric designs mixed with hand-stitching technique.

2. Mult-Wallcovering Installation
Ephemeral Solidity, Wallcovering, Arcylics and pencil on Canvas, 120x140cm, 2025
This wallcovering is a design for a sensory wall installation
embodying nature’s temporality and presence through hand-drawn rhythm.
This multi-wallcovering installation explores the dynamic relationship between space, emotion, and nature.
Inspired by the stucture of Deulchang and the aesthetic of Chagyeong (Borrowed Scenery),
this work visualises a 3-step sensory-mediated journey.
Structured as Essence–Harmony–Essence,
the three panels guide viewers on a meditative journey:
from the hazy perception of nature through the self, to a direct encounter with nature, and back inward.
This composition expresses how space, moments in time, and human presence
are interconnected and constantly in motion.
Rather than being fixed or static,
these layers create a dynamic experience
where past, present, and the natural environment coexist and influence each other.
Ultimately, this works show that finding true harmony starts with shifting
how we relate to nature and life itself.

In Korean traditional architecture,
Cha-gyeong (Borrowed Scenery) refers to the thoughtful framing of distant views,
like a mountain seen through a window, so that nature becomes part of the living space.
It reveals a worldview where human life and nature are not separate, but deeply interconnected.

Space and its design interact with our emotions and environment.
Wallcovering changes with light, temperature, and humidity, revealing time’s passage.
These changes make wallcovering a dynamic presence beyond simple decoration.
As nature changes, it also interacts with its surroundings.
This multi-wallcovering installation explores the dynamic relationship between space, emotion, and nature.
Influenced by Deulchang, a traditional Hanok window that blurs spatial boundaries,
the work responds to environmental changes like light, temperature, and humidity, revealing the passage of time and reflecting nature’s impermanence.
By using thin fabric, it can play with light and show a diverse sensory experience,
and the volume of space and atmosphere.
This design can be a sensory interface for a bio-inspired hotel, spa, or personal space, encouraging emotional calm and reflection.
