Sunday, September 15, Artists EunYoung and Insook warmly invite the public to the unveiling of BaRam, a public art installation at 6B & Garden that symbolizes reconciliation, reconnection, and the harmonizing power of art.
BaRam, meaning “wind” in Korean, is the culmination of a collaborative journey inspired by the rich and distinct historical and cultural narratives of Korea and Japan. This unique installation combines the ritual of a traditional tea ceremony with a fabric-based art piece, aiming to bridge divides and explore themes of oneness, interconnectedness, and unity.
To engage the audience and offer visitors an opportunity to immerse themselves in the wind’s story, the tea ceremonies are held in a space constructed with ot-goreum, the strips of fabric traditionally used in Korean garments to fasten both ends together. As a piece of participatory art, our project conveys the message that in the most densely populated and diverse city in the world, New York, we are all deeply connected.
EunYoung and Insook encourage everyone to join them for this unique cultural experience that celebrates both artistic inspiration and the connections between cultures, nature, and humanity.
To further engage the community, we are hosting a raffle to raise funds in support of the 6B Garden and the BaRam project. We invite valued local businesses to contribute by donating items or services for the raffle. This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase your business to a diverse audience while supporting a meaningful cause.

Reconciliation & Reconnection: Let the wind of harmony connect cultures, nature, and humanity.
About the Artists
InSook Park is deeply influenced by the internal vibrations and emotional connections from her childhood, which she explores through a multidimensional approach. She seeks to bridge different realms such as light, sound, movement, nature, and culture in her work. Her textile installations (ot-goreum) reinterpret the meanings embodied in Ganggangsullae(: Korean traditional dance), giving birth to new pieces that blur the boundaries between art forms.
EunYoung Sebazco has cultivated a heightened awareness of the five senses, which she embodies through the Japanese tea ceremony, centered around the concept of Wa (harmony and peace). By sharing a bowl of matcha, her practice weaves narratives that resonate deeply with the senses, inviting participants to reconnect with the beauty of inner peace between host and guest and to find meaning in the world around them.
