What happens when faith itself begins to fracture? Does it return sharper, or splinter beyond repair? In "Holy Splinters," Orangehare artist Tianming reinterprets original works by founder Chae Tongyull through a process of deliberate disassembly. Across 84 portraits divided into three visual categories, Tianming fuses the textures of lacquer painting and Buddhist mural craft with modernist distortion, “Picasso-fying” the originals into new icons of devotion and decay. Through fragmentation, what was once whole becomes luminous again, proof that even the sacred can survive the break.
