Confined to his apartment during the pandemic, Park turned to the most immediate subject available: his windows. Over six months, he produced a series of twenty-four paintings, each depicting the same views at different times of day and in different seasons, tracking the subtle changes in light, weather, and vegetation that marked the passage of time during a period when the usual markers of daily life had been suspended.
The paintings are characterized by their extraordinary attention to light — the way it filters through glass, reflects off surfaces, and transforms the color of everything it touches. Park's technique, built up through layer upon layer of translucent glazes, creates a luminosity that seems to emanate from within the canvas itself.
As the series progressed, the views became increasingly abstracted, the recognizable details of the outside world dissolving into fields of color and light. This progression mirrored Park's own psychological journey through lockdown, from detailed observation of the external world to a more introspective, meditative state.
The completed series was exhibited as a single installation, the paintings arranged chronologically around the gallery walls, creating an immersive environment that evoked the experience of watching time pass from within a confined space.
