However, the reason why the Bible connects to the Word of God, the Logos, is because the meaning of the word is “the Word is
God” and “all things under heaven were created from the Word.” In that sense, it seems that for the artist, facing the text contained
in the Bible can be an encounter with the God he believes in. In other words, it could be that the artist not only tried to express his
work as a mediating means of conveying the divine reality, but also wanted to realize the experience of God that he experienced
in the work. From that perspective, the author placing consonants and vowels evenly at regular intervals without applying a general
spacing method during the work process, is to display that his artistry is the very discipline of his faith expressed in faithful but
agonizing labor of servitude.

In such a way, artist leads his audiences to speculate that the work had internal meanings of sacred religious acts, of prayer and
supplication, rather than the simple drawing and expressing acts. Therefore, for artist Park Hyeon-cheol, the Bible does not simply
function as a text that conveys a certain meaning, but is a passage to a world that can be referred to as ‘sublime’ in a religious and
aesthetic context, and a place to experience the very core of that world. Therefore, it can be deciphered that the artist, through this
exhibition, is trying to guide the audience through this passage to the world that the artist himself has experienced, by means of
revelation of his work
