Artist Statement

The word Mugunghwa or “immortal flower” has incredibly deep roots in Korea
and represents a unified country, where a flower can grow without borders.
The national flower is a species of the hibiscus called the Rose of Sharon and the Korean people call the blossoms “everlasting flowers” or mugunghwa as the bush readily grows again when cut down. It became a symbol of Korea, reflecting the historic tragedies of the nation often being cut down by larger nations but still surviving.
