The repetition of this turbulent cycle of plants, in which the seemingly everlasting greenery succumbs to the snap of the cold wind, resulting in the falling of leaves, is an effective metaphor to concretely express the flow of time in the human world. Hur explores through plants, the passage of time, the joys and sorrows of emotions, as well as the inevitably persistent will to live and life force of humans that cannot be overlooked.
That is why Hur’s work is not far from life, food, livelihood, and family. The hunger that reliably comes, the preparation of meals, the drowsiness that comes with the darkening day, and the waking up dazzled by the sunlight, all seem to parallel a day in the life of a tree outside the house exposed to the elements.
On a random day, while looking closely at her palm, she spent days pondering whether the wrinkles reflected on it, called palm lines, are the veins of green leaves.
A wave of golden flowers in full bloom along the roadside, and as they give themselves to the wind and sway relentlessly, one would be able to relate to the human condition in which one’s heart reels at the slightest word another.
