Sebin Bethany Hwang is a multidisciplinary artist examining impermanence, absence, and destruction. She explores the trail of absence through painting, dye painting, weaving, and sculpture. Her current body of work examines her late grandmother’s garden. She was a florist all her life and took exclusive care of the garden that remains untouched since her passing in 2021. Now overgrown and unruly, the garden is projected to be destroyed due to government housing plans in 2026. Her work serves as a living reminder of what once was, whether it be fragments of her late grandmother’s idle garden, a lawn chair that has not been interacted with, or bunches of forsythia flowers. By treating materials as active collaborators of her work instead of mere tools, she allows unspoken traces to reveal themselves and offer a dialogue between what once was and what it is now.
