“Ma” is a Japanese concept that refers to the space or interval between objects, moments, or events. In art, it emphasizes the importance of negative space and the relationship between elements rather than just the elements themselves. It suggests that what is not present can be as significant as what is, creating a sense of balance, harmony, and contemplation. This idea can be seen throughout Kyong’s work, where the spaces between objects contribute to the overall aesthetic and emotional experience.
