Hong's solo exhibition, which expresses the world of utopia under the theme of the original forest and wild animals, will be held.

The artist's worldview, which argues for the unity of women, homes, and the womb, soon transforms into the shape of the forest. The forest is where various creatures live and breathe, meaning home to her.

She also describes the leopard which often appears in her work, she said, "The world that leopards look at and dream of is the world that I as a writer look at and dream of."
