DAHAE SONG IS A SOUTH KOREAN INTERDISCIPLINARY ARTIST BASED IN SEOUL AND TORONTO. A SELF-DECLARED VISUAL PHILOSOPHER, DAHAE USES VARIOUS MEDIUMS TO PUSH AND PULL TIME, CAPTURING EVIDENCE THAT WE HAVE NOT LOST OUR INTRINSIC CONNECTION TO NATURE.

TO PAINT THE WAY A TREE GROWS AND WATER FLOWS, DAHAE EXTERNALIZES THE INTERNAL AND MATERIALIZES THE IMMATERIAL TO MEDIATE AND BRING TOGETHER DISPARATE REALMS, UNIFYING THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE WITH THAT OF NATURE. DAHAE’S ART OBJECTS ARE ARTIFACTS FROM A NONEXISTENT PLACE—THE DOCUMENTATION OF A WORLD UNSEEN. IN PRESENTING HER WORK, DAHAE CURATES MEDITATIVE SPACES TO SERVE AS AN IMPETUS FOR VIEWERS TO LOOK INWARD AND CONTEMPLATE THE VERY MOMENT THAT IS FOREVER FLEETING.
