Exchange of energy between people is an important concept in Sangsun BAE's works. she  discovered the invisible and amorphous "Aura" in the energy between people that is constantly changing its vector and force. 

Unlike the sharp, ripping lines we see more in western arts, BAE's elegant lines are more Oriental and express the merging of the internal and external worlds. Simple and refined lines she creates without relying on the effects of color combinations or innovative approach take us back to the true essence of basic drawings.

In her new works for this exhibition, rings drawn on jet black velvet material float and overwrap, as though trapping us in the world of perpetual intertwining (Over & Over).

Human interactions are becoming less and less close in the modern society. But BAE's art works remind us the value and revitalizing energy that "interactions with others" can bring.
