Tabom is another word for the artist’s own talent of perseverance, embodied as an image and referred to as a figure symbolizing the result of patience and refinement. The reasoning behind Tabom representing perseverance can be explained through its production process.

In its early stages, Tabom was primarily created as bronze cast sculptures, requiring numerous hours of polishing and burnishing over time to reach completion. The final color of Tabom, achieved through this prolonged process, is both radiant and noble. It exhibits a soft yet luminous golden tone.
Through this tone, the artist intends to express a good influence on the visitors who watch Tabom.

With the advancement of technology and the diversification of materials, the expression of Tabom has evolved from sculpture to painting and further into digital media. There is a common thread that connects these different forms of expression—despite an imperfect or unstable process, patience and steady progress ultimately lead to a high-quality outcome. This idea reflects not only the attitude an artist should have toward their work but also a
broader approach to life. As one explores various methods and techniques, the synergy between different materials and implementation technologies helps overcome the limitations from specific materials. Thus, Tabom is not confined to a single medium; it is expressed through sculpture, painting, digital art, and more. This demonstrates how various media interact through the theme of Tabom.

​

In sculpture, Tabom is primarily expressed through the material of bronze. If the polishing process for bronze is considered to take 100 hours, 99 of those hours are solely dedicated to sanding. Only in the final hour does the piece begin to shine.
During those 99 hours, no gloss appears only fine scratches and a dull, cloudy surface. However, after countless hours of polishing, the piece eventually transforms, gleaming like a mirror with a soft yet radiant luster.

In painting, Tabom is expressed through oil painting. Although the process is slow, colors are carefully adjusted and harmonized to create a beautiful overall composition. Once the base coloring is completed, highlights are added to the areas that receive the most light, bringing the piece to completion. This, too, follows the principle of 99 hours spent on color blending and the final 1 hour dedicated to finding the perfect bright points.

In digital media, Tabom serves as a compass, guiding direction. Particularly in this medium, great attention is given not only to the Tabom object itself but also to its surrounding environment.
Beyond mere modeling, digital media provides the best means to depict the preparatory stage for expanding a story and its universe. It acts as a map, illustrating both the world in which Tabom exists and the way it moves and interacts within it.
