The Works
From the tradition
The motifs in this collection are drawn from the classical iconography of Korean folk and literati painting traditions — minhwa, sa-ui, and munin-hwa — practiced over centuries by anonymous artisans and scholar-painters.
Each work in Birds & Signs traces its lineage to specific compositions familiar to Korean households, museums, and royal collections — interpreted now through the medium of skin.
