Tears to Glory
Solo Exhibition by Yoonsoo Nam
Tears to Glory is a powerful journey of trust, where each tear marks a step toward transformation. It is a path of surrender, where pain is reshaped into meaning and every tear becomes a brushstroke of hope.
This collection reflects a deeply personal journey of endurance, faith, and letting go-where each step leads toward freedom and renewal. Each painting holds a moment of vulnerability and strength, inviting reflection and connection.
"They who sow in tears shall reap with joyful singing. He who goes back and forth weeping, carrying his bag of seed [for planting), Will indeed come back with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him." (Psalms 126:5-6)
