As part of renovating CDC Children’s Dental Center to be a premium contemporary clinic, I was commissioned to create video art for the lobby wall.

I was challenged with an ask to create a piece that will play in the lobby wall—spanning three stories—during all operating hours, all year-long. The work also needed to cater to the parents bringing the children in, rather than to the children. I created a piece that answers both these challenges with an abstracted vision of seasonal change. Content that changes with the season every 3 months. South Korea has very distinct four seasons, with very different colors and feelings associated with them.

The piece interprets seasonality through abstraction: slow moving impressions of a season seen through textured glass. Impressionist paintings were an important source of inspiration for the painterly effect in the video. The colors and movements of each “stroke” would evoke a sense of time of year .

The project was a close collaboration with Studio Arc, the interior architect, to develop how the work sits within the space, and how they speak to each other.
