Bang Jin Won express the absolute being in this chaos. Everything
changes, this is the truth. However, our emotion would not be
changed and pursue for the valuable thing. Although, contemporary
society changes very fast and this cause people anxiety about
future but Bang Jin Won use iron shavings to represent balance and
stability of current society. Two different properties of iron shavings
are attracted each other and create new properties. He expresses
boundary of earthly life and other people’s perspective of this by
using iron shavings as a material. He does not use direct expression
but explain this ambiguously, so that people can see various
meanings. Through, this method, people can interpret their life by
watching iron shaving’s various shape. This is very abstract
expression so this implies author’s willingness of pursuing the
absolute being. This work represents the absolute being and
ordinary material.
