About The Work

The character ‘Atomaus’ created by Lee Donggi and the series ‘Bubble’ and ‘Smoking’ show his methodology well. Smoke from the eyes and mouth of the smoking Atomaus is spewing out in all directions. The wavy smoke is also seen as the spread of paint dropped into the water. The smoke that comes out of the out-of-focus eyes also symbolizes modern people who are frantically adapting to the rapidly changing media and environment.
