About The Work
The BYR 99 Prime Elements series constitutes a core axis that visually actualizes the concept of the Schematic Medium. This series is composed of 99 units—33 each in Blue, Yellow, and Red. Each unit possesses a diameter of 45.72cm and a thickness of 2.54cm, designed as circular forms capable of 360-degree rotation from the center.
Yellow (Equilateral Triangle/Rhythm and Circularity of Nature)
The 'Equilateral Triangle', a perfect form structured by three precise axes, is used as the motif. This reflects the ideal insight into unification and the perpetuity of nature's circulation, aiming for an analytical approach to the harmonious structure and repetition inherent in nature, existing beyond the human domain.

The 99 BYR units, constructed in this manner, evolve through physical integration or chemical fusion, creating formal indices of change, equilibrium, and unification. Each unit operates as a crucial fundamental element revealing experiences directly observed by my body and mind in every moment of life. Consequently, the 'BYR 99 Prime Elements' are not fixed formal completions of my artistic style but rather organic structures that continuously reflect and evolve with my attitude toward life and my ongoing self-reflection.
BYR Instruction Guide: 27 Actions for Existential Art Practice
To demonstrate the process by which my schemata are actually activated and embodied in life and art, I execute the following behavioral instructions, intentionally separating and systematizing everyday perception and emotion according to the structural principles of BYR.

Cyclical Rhythm and Embodiment of Reciprocity
This domain is the performative act of embodying life's circulation and speed through rhythm and mutual sensitivity.

1. Walk until the sound of your footsteps merges with the rhythm of nature; immerse yourself in the walking action.
2. Treat your breath as a rhythmic instrument, breathing with a different intent for every set of three exhalations.
3. Listen to the wind, incline your body to its melody, and allow your movement to become music.
4. Choose a single leaf, stone, or water drop, and hold it as the subject of eternal investigation for one day.
5. Seek balance by listening equally to three different sounds (city, nature, human) throughout the day.
6. Discard nothing. Recognize that trivial traces become the starting point for the next cycle.
7. Seek one new angle within the repetitive routine of daily life and draw a triangle.
8. At sunset, gaze upon a single point in nature and remember the transformation of its light.
9. Record today’s rhythm—the velocity of your body, sound, and space—not in numerical data, but as an existential sensation.
