It depicts a young girl whose body is gradually disappearing, but she is visually unstable, as if drifting between the real world and an illusion. Her expression is discontented, and the pupils of her eyes dare to make use of the silver foil. The depiction of this girl contains a subtle resistance to existence and disappearance, matter and spirit, and the passage of time. By applying silver leaf to a flat world, the artist aims to make the viewer keenly aware of the concept of layers. Through the contrast between the inorganic luster of the silver leaf and the fragile figure of the girl, the artist explores the boundaries between matter and spirit, reality and unreality, existence and emptiness. While the cold luster of silver leaf dominates the space and has a strong visual impact, the extremely thin and delicate nature of the material allows it to subtly change its appearance over time and in response to the environment. These changes bring the work to life and remind the viewer of its fragility and impermanence. By combining digital drawing with traditional techniques, the artist aims to create a new visual experience that blends contemporary sensibilities with classical expression. The combination of digital precision and the traditional technique of hand-applied silver leaf gives the work not only a visual beauty, but also a depth that evokes a physical sense of touch and texture. The precision and freedom of expression characteristic of digital painting contrasts with the historical weight and prestige of the traditional material of silver leaf, and the harmony of the two creates a work that connects the past with the present. The coldness of the silver leaf and the fragility of the girl's vanishing form trigger a questioning of our own existence. The work challenges the notion that what we can see and touch is the only reality. The girl, whose body is gradually disappearing, is depicted as an unstable presence, floating between the realms of reality and illusion. conveys dissatisfaction, and the eyes are deliberately left with the silver foil, allowing it to stand out. This depiction of the girl embodies a subtle By applying silver foil to a flat world, this work aims to strongly emphasize the concept of layers. Through the contrast between the inorganic gleam of the silver leaf and the ephemeral figure of the girl, the work explores the concept of existence and disappearance. Through the contrast between the inorganic gleam of the silver leaf and the ephemeral figure of the girl, the work explores the boundaries between matter and spirit, reality and the unreal, existence and nothingness. Silver foil, with its cold shine, dominates the space and creates a strong visual impact. This change breathes life into the work, while simultaneously conveying its fragility and transience to the viewer. The fusion of digital painting and traditional techniques aims to create a new visual experience that blends contemporary sensibilities with classical expression. The precision of digital art and the handcrafted nature of the silver foil combine to give the work depth, not just visually, but also in terms of physical texture and tactile quality. The fine details and freedom of expression typical of digital art contrast with the historical weight and formality of silver leaf, and the The fine details and freedom of expression typical of digital art contrast with the historical weight and formality of silver leaf, and the harmony between these two elements creates a work that connects the past and present.
