Night Market
Where Middle Eastern and Korean Cultures Intertwine
This work imagines a moonlit night market where traditions from the Middle East and Korea blend seamlessly.
Set beneath a full moon, the scene features palm trees, hanbok-clad figures, lanterns, camels, pottery, textiles, and fresh produce. Architecture from both cultures — tiled rooftops, gazebos, and domes — frame the market space. It is a place where the lines between time, geography, and identity soften.
This piece explores how shared rituals — gathering, trading, storytelling — transcend borders. The color palette draws from traditional East Asian scroll painting, while the subject matter evokes the warmth and rhythm of community life.
