美 Beauty_ The Devil
This work deals with the problem of "Beauty" among the series works that assume human natural needs in five categories of "wealth, honor, health, love, and beauty" and express them as works through consideration of life.
It is a jar that figuratively embodies the appearance of humans becoming obsessed with fantasy and inner desire for beauty by homage to the birth of Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty.
They interpreted themselves as a kind of mechanical component, ignoring taboos and acting impulsively as a contract with the devil in "Faust".
In this way, the original pure soul degenerated into greed as if facing the birth of the devil. It is decorated with things that mean ascetic devices by referring to the descriptions of demons and hell in Gustav Door's "Paradise Lost" and Dante's "La Divina Commedia"
