The works of BAE Bien-U, a point of contact between the heavens and the earth.

The unique eye of BAE Bien-U can be equally identified in his other works when he de-ciphers the point of contact between the visible world and the invisible world in nature as well as in the landscape. It is well known that BAE Bien-U has been greatly inspired by pines and pine groves. In the photographs of pines, setting the dominant line vertical in accordance with the image of standing trees, he seems to have expressed them as creatures which rejoin the heavens and the earth (and the nether world). He apparently perceived an invisible horizontal line, which connects the divided regions, inhered in the succession of vertical trees. We can even say that individual pines suggest human beings, while a pine grove reminds us of a thick, jostling crowd.
