According to the South China Morning Post, South Korean artist Kang Myonghi, who is nearing 80 years of age, maintains a creative vitality comparable to her younger years, remaining active in her studio and dedicated to international endeavors. She recently traveled to Hong Kong on two occasions to prepare for "What Remains to be Seen," which is noted as her initial solo exhibition at a gallery in a span of two years.
Kang stated that the pandemic initiated a shift in her perspective, leading her to begin perceiving time along a horizontal plane instead of from a fixed, single-point linear perspective. She clarified that this refers to the eye-level horizontal line that separates a composition, as opposed to the standard vanishing point employed to simulate three-dimensional depth on a flat surface.
