PATTERN DESIGN
Slow shutter speed of the dawn
This work began with the light that is captured in a stretched form when photographing a moving light like that of a rapidly passing car in the night. In the darkness of night, countless thoughts always come to me. I take pictures of my thoughts with a slow shutter speed. By capturing my rapidly changing thoughts in my own quiet room, I can discover dozens of thoughts one by one that I had not even been aware of. After noticing the hidden thoughts, the shyness that creeps in appears as subtle shadows of the objects. Thoughts that I did not even know existed start to slowly surface in the quiet, cold air of dawn. I made this pattern designs by using the shadows and windows on the wall, of which I took a photo in person, and motifs drawn by hand drawing. I designed the bags with digital printing on linen and suede.
