철골 미학

When the glamorous surface of the city is stripped away, what remains is its structural steel framework. It is there that I encounter the most honest form of architecture. This work traces the geometric structure of steel frames that support massive buildings, following the strength of straight lines and the tension hidden within them. 
The process begins by layering multiple spatial views onto a single surface. It is not merely an act of overlapping images, but of constructing layers of vision, much like assembling steel structures on site. Intersecting lines build depth across the image, revealing the cold metallic presence of the framework. 
Through blending techniques, the altered tones emphasize the inherent coldness of metal. Rather than evoking emotion, the work directs attention to structural rigor and balance. Vertical and horizontal lines divide and support space, expressing resilience that withstands external pressure. 
The accumulated layers suggest the endurance of steel structures that remain steady over time. Though their appearance is sharp and austere, within them flows the powerful energy that sustains the city. 
The triptych format implies expansion rather than division. The steel lines seem to extend beyond the frame, suggesting that the city is continuously connected and growing. These layered traces appear as both records of the past and blueprints for the future. 
Ultimately, steel frames are the foundation of all architecture. By following the trajectory of these straight lines, we are invited to reconsider the unseen structures that support our lives.
