From the body, to existence.

This project is not a chronologically drawn record.

Instead of production year, 27 pieces are connected in a flow that starts from the body and love, passes through relationships and prayer, and moves toward a declaration of existence.

1. Body — The Beginning of Existence

The first thing we encounter is the body.

Face, hands, breath. These are the very first forms in which existence reveals itself to the world.

Deungjak begins drawing from this point — not with concepts, but with the body.

2. Love — The Doorway to Relationships

The body soon enters into relationships.

Love, being together, gazes toward each other. The works in this section capture the physical sense of relationships through the way colors and lines collide and intertwine.

3. Prayer — For Us

Relationships soon become prayer.

The series "Pray for Us" is the spiritual core of this project.

The already published artist book "Pray for Us" contains the sentences from this series and will be included with every Reward in this project. The book is not sold separately — it is a volume completed only when accompanied by the artwork.

4. Existence — That Which Is, Even Without Words

In 2026, Deungjak begins to depict existence itself using ink, acrylic, and pencil.

"Existence in Silence," "Existence Began to Move," "Restoration of Existence" — these series are placed on the canvas not by explanation, but simply by existing.

5. Expansion — Deungjak Now

The most recent works feature larger canvases, broader colors, and freer brushstrokes.

"Ecosystem," "There Is a Universe in Tears," "Love Lives by Holding Breath" — these are the places Deungjak has arrived at in this very moment.

Existence does not prove itself.

At the end of this flow, no questions are asked.

Existence does not prove itself.

This sentence is the title of a painting, and it is also the destination of this entire project.

Reward Information

The moment a piece of art is placed in someone's space, that space also becomes a record.

Common Composition for All Sections

All Rewards consist of one original artwork and the artist book 'Pray for Us' (written by Deungjak, ISBN 979-11-91610-38-3 03801). The artist book is not sold separately.
