Wheel of Bloom-Soak up the Sun, 2007

Faceted glass in platform windscreens

Jung brightens the commuter's environment with happy expressiveness in her art. While standing on the platform, Jung was struck by the view of the vast blue sky. Designs that symbolize the sun and the wheel of the trains feature a series of circles and vibrant colors that add complexity. The colors reflect the cycle of the day, beginning with yellow for morning and blue for night. The circular shapes also reflect the movement and life of the neighborhood.
