<Breath. Rest> is the work of artist Goulgi installed in the flowerbed of the rest area in front of Gwanghwamundae. Unlike a park where you go to rest, this place is thought to be a place where you can take a break while walking because there are simple benches and flower beds on the side of the road. It can be interpreted in various ways as 'rest' of 'breath, rest', or 'rest' of rest. The letters are harmonized with the plants in the flower bed, so that they are expressed in accordance with the characteristics of letters resembling nature. In addition, since the Korean character ‘ㅅ’ is related to people and life, I tried to make it fun by expressing the word ‘rest’ in a comfortable way as if a person is relaxing.
The artist explained the planning intention by saying, “In front of the Gwanghwamun era, there is a space where you can take a short break. In order to save this space, it was thought that the space needed a name, so ‘rest’, which means a space to take a break for a while, among the words made of ㅅ, was produced and installed as a three-dimensional sculpture. It was made by casting steel and planting it in a flower bed.”
