Purity, the Profundity

Purity, the Profundity:
Ucchin Chang

Join us for an exhibition featuring the transformative works of artist Ucchin Chang, where cosmic truths are unveiled in their purest and most noble form.

Chang's art delves into the essence of the universe and the self, illustrating how both maintain their purity through "fierce self-resistance" amidst the ever-changing seasons and the cycles of life - birth, aging, illness, death, and renewal - much like a lotus blooming from the depths of murky waters.

AYU Space's philosophy, rooted in the principles of AYURVEDA, resonates with Chang's vision. AYURVEDA, an ancient system of medicine from India, is grounded in the concepts of Sankhya and Vedanta. Sankhya is a philosophical system that emphasizes the distinction between consciousness (purusha) and matter (prakriti), providing a framework for understanding the universe and the self. This philosophical underpinning aligns with both Chang's work and AYU Space's advocacy for "unassuming naturalism," highlighting the sustainability of nature through its inherent phenomena.

This exhibition invites you to explore the depths of innocence and witness the themes of "silent clamor," "purity," and "fierce self-resistance" through Chang’s captivating works and the serene environment of AYU Space’s garden.

As Chang reflects in his piece 'Self-Portrait (1951)', it captures the moment of self-discovery within the solitude of Gaia. The journey through AYU Space mirrors this exploration, guiding visitors through hills, pine forests, and reed thickets, ultimately revealing a gentle curve that unites all existence.

Experience the profound connection between nature and self through this exhibition.
