Water functions not only as subject but as organizing principle.
In Memory of Water examines the relationship between photographic image and material structure. Through reflective and absorptive surfaces, the works challenge the stability of the frame and complicate spatial perception.
The exhibition invites sustained viewing. Meaning emerges through proximity, light, and the viewer’s position within space.
Daniel Han is a Los Angeles–born artist raised in a multilingual immigrant household. Moving between Korean and English fostered an early sensitivity to translation, duality, and cultural transmission.
Influenced by early exposure to textile processes and later study in Intercultural Studies, Han approaches substrate as an active element rather than a neutral support. Linen, velvet, copper, and aluminum are selected for both their physical properties and cultural lineage.
