From Sixspace Website: "The new body of work by Seonna Hong in Railroad explores the duality of innocence (in the form of curious and contemplative little girls) and life (as depicted by fast-moving trains). Influenced by the recent construction of the Pasadena Metro near her home, these new paintings reflect a maturation of Hong's work while they similarly and simultaneously show the processes of growing up. The "railroad" works well as a metaphor for life as her young girls are shown exploring new places, in-transit, and seen literally at the crossroads of the tracks. As a symbol of industry, advancement, and travel the train imagery in Railroad conveys the hurriedness of life and the need to "get on board.""
