TongTongTong: if there is no communication, it will be difficult

Seogak – Wood carving & printing – TongTongTong: if there is no communication, it will be difficult

“通 (tōng)” is a Chinese character that means “to pass through” or “to be connected”. The reason why the phrase of Korean, “通通通: 통하지 않으면 아프다” is carved is to convey the meaning of “if there is no communication, it will be difficult”, using the homophonic relationship between the character and the verb “to communicate”

This artwork has been meticulously crafted with artistic and professional precision. The wood has been intricately carved using the technique of relief printing, and the letters have been skillfully engraved to create a visually striking effect. The final touch of color has been applied with great care to bring out the full beauty of the piece.
