Changhong Ahn’s digital pen drawing 
<Haunting Loneliness>

Changhong Ahn’s digital pen drawing series, Haunting Loneliness is not an elaboration on the ‘aesthetics of the emptying.’ In fact, it calls out the ‘vanity of being emptied.’ A transparent model stands alone in the paintings, and no matter how the figure poses, the model’s invisibility makes it utterly despondent. The colorful and unique fashion symbolizes the faces of modern people today. But, with what beliefs do the owners of these outfit live their lives? Is it possible for them to revive their fiery passion for life? It is hard to guess.
