Detail: We’re thrilled to announce The Breath of Time, The Song of Dust, our Asia Week New York exhibition featuring the works of Song E Yoon and Freeman, on view from March 6 to March 31. The exhibition brings together two distinct temporal voices — one from the late Joseon period and another from the present — to explore the subtle continuity between disappearance and presence, memory and light, silence, and resonance.

As its title suggests, The Breath of Time, The Song of Dust unfolds where the remnants of the past meet the pulse of the living moment. Song E Yoon’s practice visualizes the invisible structure of time — the breath, vibration, and energy that weave through existence. Her works capture what lingers after form dissolves: the trace of an event, the rhythm of what remains. Through light, transparency, and vibration, Song translates the intangible into sensory form, transforming stillness into movement and silence into a living pulse. Time in her world does not progress in a straight line but circulates, folding back into itself, allowing the breath of the past to reawaken in the present. Freeman’s works, drawn from the late Joseon era, embody a philosophy of emptiness and vitality — the rhythm of stillness, the harmony between humanity and nature. Even across centuries, they keep a quiet warmth, as if time itself continues to breathe through them. When placed in conversation with Song’s luminous structures, a new resonance appears: Freeman’s ink becomes light, and Song’s light takes on the depth of ink. The two artists, separated by time yet connected by intuition, mirror each other within a shared field of silence. Rather than contrasting past and present, The Breath of Time, The Song of Dust reveals the invisible current that connects them. The works intertwine like reflections in a single mirror, and time itself becomes circular — never lost, only transformed. The spirit of Joseon flows again through light, while light, like dust, drifts back into the shadow of history. In this exchange, art becomes a living continuum, breathing between what has vanished and what endures.

The exhibition is a meditation on faith in time.

Time does not vanish; it changes form — into light, into dust, into memory. Through the works of Song E Yoon and Freeman, the unseen becomes perceptible, the forgotten becomes audible. And in that shared rhythm, what has disappeared and what stays come together to sing — the song of time itself, the quiet breath of dust.
