Tree Buried in the Name of Forest is a representation of aspects such as poor artificiality and emotional delusion through a series of images. Its digital images of Saryeoni Forest generate an optical illusion of movement.

Those images of this grove convey the sound of water and waves. And then they are instantly converted into a forest. In this work, virtual images going beyond actual ones demonstrate inner space and time. A stray tree asks after us who are left behind in this land. Is one who lost their way one who has settled down? Or, is one who lost their way one who is uprooted and drifts away?

A forest stretches out: it becomes a dot or disappears. The subject of appreciation is turned into sound at the moment images of every object disappear from the place of a forest.
