In Taejyung Seo’s work the re-emerging themes of violence and the sea are present. Living by the sea as a child, Seo saw both joy and risk. The time spent on vacation by the sea as a child suppressed the dreadful violence around. It is the tension between these two elements which are continually explored through Seo’s work.
