In his early signature works Tchah-Sup Kim brings the viewer to the bed of a dry mountain stream with his depictions of stones shaped by water. His renderings of their similarities and the subtle differences of their multitudes offer the viewer a chance to investigate the rigor of Kim's meditations.
