Hangeul in Motion: ‘Cheon-Ji-In’ Woven into Humanity
Based on the phonetic principles explained in the Hunminjeongeum Haerye, I approached Hangeul through the concept of Cheon-Ji-In—the “Three Elements” of Heaven (ㆍ), Earth (ㅡ), and Human (ㅣ).
As a script that is both ideographic and pictographic, Hangeul reflects these elements in its vowel system.
In this work, I physically express the harmony of yin and yang found in Hangeul vowels, embodying the role of the human (ㅣ) that connects the heavens and the earth.
