Perceptual Field

A large-scale portrait constructed through dispersed color points, where the image emerges through distance and perception rather than direct representation.

This mural explores portraiture through a point-based visual system, where the image is not immediately given but gradually formed through the viewer’s perception. Composed of numerous individual color dots, the face appears fragmented at close range and only resolves into a coherent image from a distance.

This approach draws on principles similar to point-based image construction, where separate units visually merge in the viewer’s eye rather than on the surface itself.

Rather than presenting a fixed and dominant image, the portrait exists in a state of fluctuation—shifting between visibility and dissolution depending on the viewer’s position. This instability transforms the act of seeing into an active process.

Situated within the everyday flow of the city, the work contrasts a highly constructed visual system with the surrounding urban reality, allowing the image to oscillate between presence, disappearance, and reappearance within public space.
