Sound of the Stream is composed of four individual canvas panels that together form a continuous image of a mountain stream in motion. The visible divisions between the panels become part of the composition, echoing the rhythm and movement of flowing water. Rather than simply depicting a landscape, the painting explores the phenomenon of cross-sensory perception, where one sense evokes another. The movement of the current, the sparkling reflections, and the vivid contrast between deep blue water and warm sunlit stones invite viewers not only to see the stream but to imagine its clear, resonant sound. The work captures the moment when winter releases its hold and water begins to flow freely once again. In this transition, the stream becomes a symbol of renewal, continuity, and the quiet vitality of nature. Through color, rhythm, and movement, the painting asks whether vision alone can awaken memories of sound and allow us to experience nature beyond what is seen.
[Sound of the Stream] Sometimes what we see awakens what we hear. When winter passes and spring arrives, the frozen stream melts and begins to flow with a remarkably clear sound. I wanted you to hear the sound of the stream through this painting. Can you hear it?
