[Chae Tongyull] Bedroom, Nude and City #2

Have you ever had a dream you were naked somewhere public? Maybe you were ashamed, or maybe you wandered the streets, bold and free. Named after the psychological phenomenon where memories flicker and fade as we transition from one space to another, "The Doorway Effect" by Chae Tongyull is a thought-provoking series of four NFTs that offers a portal to the past—whether it's dreaming beyond a window or revisiting old streets under a new light. As buildings blur into oblivion and reality teeters between what is real and what is only felt, Chae combines works from two impactful series, "Nude in the Street, NYC" and "Interior with a View, Korea." This duality captures a life lived between two worlds and various states of mind, merging the essence of memory, time, and the constant dance between inner tranquility and external chaos. Each piece is a doorway, a threshold where the past and present intertwine, inviting you to step through and explore what could have been, and what still is.
