In Three Shapes, Eom Yujeong draws from her observations of natural landscapes but does not rely solely on their transcendent dimensions and empirical sensations. Instead, she naturally moves out of the space of the landscape and focuses on the time she spends looking at it, opening up a new window to perceive the world. We look at an object with our eyes and try to observe it thoroughly; however, we still cannot get into and stay outside it. In this way, the essence of the form the artist sees does not reside within it but outside of it, in contact with our eyes. Therefore, by looking at the shapes of nature as they are and accepting herself as part of the time she draws them, she is not constrained by a particular shape but rather seeks to break free from it. And to this end, she simply follows the shapes that countlessly appear from time to time, steadily looking over and over again at the shapes of a world which is harmonious yet full of ambiguity and chaos.
