Allegory of Emotions: The Echo of Us is a collaborative exploration of how language and image shape, translate and sometimes fail to contain feeling. Working across painting, drawing, collage and short written fragments, MARIE and MIN create layered allegories in which verbal micro-narratives and visual motifs answer, contradict and amplify one another. The result is a series of “echo chambers” where emotion reverberates: tenderness returns as abrasion, confession becomes fragment, and silence acquires its own syntax.

This exhibition asks: how do we make sense of feeling when language and image diverge? MARIE and MIN do not attempt reconciliation so much as translation. Their works model emotional thought not as fixed definitions but as processes of repetition, erosion and reconfiguration. Echoes become a method: motifs repeat, sentences mutate, brushstrokes abrade and recur. The curatorial thread foregrounds these repetitions as a way to trace interior geographies and shared registers between two cultural and artistic lineages French literary minimalism and Korean visual tactility while honouring the particularities of each.
