Lim Mee Jeong, a visual space expert, delved into the sub-theme of "trees that capture space" for the exhibition.

She expressed, "Through organizing the exhibition space, my aim was to convey the fusion of fashion and painting within the beauty and harmony of nature. I believe that human choices originated beneath the shelter of a tree, distinguishing between good and evil. Even in the present day, humans face daily temptations, standing at the crossroads of decision-making. In this exhibition, I sought to depict the human ego positioned at the intersection of choices within a spatial context. I highlighted the significance of wood as both the foundation and the final touch within nature."
