Through the Light: Contemporary Jogakbo by Wonju Seo
Closing Saturday, January 31, 2026
Charles B. Wang Center Skylight Gallery

There’s still time to experience Through the Light, the vibrant exhibition of contemporary jogakbo (Korean wrapping cloth) art of Wonju Seo at the Charles B. Wang Center before it closes January 31. Rooted in centuries-old Korean textile practices, Seo’s translucent compositions transform humble fabric into luminous abstractions. Her works echo the geometry of modernist paintings while light itself becomes an active presence—filtering through seams, shifting with space, and casting fleeting shadows.

With a refined minimalist sensibility and deep reverence for craftsmanship, Seo reimagines the once-utilitarian jogakbo as a contemporary language of transparency, balance, and spiritual reflection—inviting viewers to slow down and see light anew.
