Artist, American, born South Korea, 1932 - 2006

The image displays dark, irregular shapes and lines woven with light and pixelated patterns. It gives off a sense of static or distorted TV imagery, resembling shadows and bright spots that could be suggestive of a figure or object. There is an animal-like shape near the center that appears vaguely like a face. The overall effect is that of digital abstraction, with fragmented visuals creating an impression of an interrupted broadcast or transmission.
