Artist Statement:


    In the largest historic transfer of land from public to private ownership, the city of Seoul has established a master plan for a new International Business District in the heart of the city. The centerpiece of the district will be a new landmark tower that will become the symbolic figure of Korea’s place in the global economy today and in the future.
