Remembrance exhibition

DDP Seoul · 22—23.08.2025

dearly

Be present.
Remember.

In presence we gather.
In memory we continue.

01 · About the exhibition

Memory does not disappear.

Dearly is a remembrance exhibition that gives private memory a shared public form. The identity begins with a single hand-made imprint: a small trace of one person, held with care.

Each mark becomes a flower. Gathered together, the flowers form a field that moves across print, objects, walls, and the architecture of DDP Seoul. The system turns remembrance into a collective act: quiet, visible, and still growing.

02 · Campaign applications

Memory, carried
into the world.

Social series

The identity moves through a sequence of quiet messages: individual traces become flowers, then gather into a shared field of remembrance.

04 · Process

It all started
with my fingerprints.

01 · Trace

I wanted to translate identity into a trace: a part of us that remains after we leave. Repeated impressions began to resemble flowers and small trees, turning remembrance into a growing field.

02 · Indigo

I made the first studies with black ink, then refined them in Photoshop and Illustrator into indigo. The blue creates a calm place for visitors to remember the people they love.

03 · Proximity

Monospace type connects the identity to the digital afterlife. On the main posters, “remembrance” binds together up close and separates from afar: proximity brings individual memories together.
