Hayeon at the Meiji Memorial Forest Minoo Quasi-National Park

Hayeon at the Meiji Memorial Forest Minoo Quasi-National Park, oil on mixed linen, 50cm x 60cm, 2024

The painting whispers of quiet exploration—a young girl stands before a waterfall, her camera poised, capturing the fleeting beauty of the moment. The falls cascade in soft, silver threads, tumbling over moss-covered rocks, their roar a gentle contrast to the stillness of the autumn afternoon. The air is crisp with the scent of earth and damp stone, as the late autumn light softens everything it touches, painting the world in muted golds and amber.

Around her, the trees stand like silent sentinels, their branches thinning, shedding the last remnants of their leaves. Those leaves lie scattered at her feet, a blanket of crimson, burnt orange, and gold, delicate as whispers. The forest is in the midst of its quiet farewell, each falling leaf a soft breath into the earth.

The girl’s gaze is captured by the beauty before her, her presence blending into the scene as the camera clicks—forever holding this moment of transition. The colors of the trees, now fading, mirror the passage of time, but in her eyes, there is a quiet reverence, a gentle acknowledgment that the beauty of this fleeting season is not lost, but preserved.
