The painting by JUNG Kangja, a pioneering performance artist, depicts a blue hanbok skirt standing as majestically as a mountain or a flag waving boldly in the wind.
The skirt's strings, which have symbolically constrained women for ages, transform into mountain paths spiraling towards the sky. This artwork embodies the resilience and bold ambitions of a female artist challenging the norms and repressions of her era. Despite her talent, JUNG's paintings were often overshadowed by the performance art achievements of the 60s and 70s and didn't receive the recognition they deserved.
