NA HYUN KOREA, b. 1970

Biography
Formosa, the historical name for Taiwan, serves as the backdrop for the artist’s exploration of the indigenous Gaoshan people. The artist delves into their attitudes and survival methods, shaped by their relationship with a harsh natural environment.
 
The focus is on the Gaoshan people's practical and ritualistic views of nature, as expressed through their use of plants. These plants act as vital links, connecting the tribes' culture and traditions to the natural world. Through this connection, the artist seeks to remind modern audiences of the long-forgotten harmony between humans and nature.
 
By collecting plants intimately tied to the tribes, the artist creates specimen-based drawings infused with a personal perspective. This approach bridges cultural heritage with a contemporary artistic lens, offering a fresh and meaningful interpretation of nature and tradition.
