In this close-up depiction of one of the famous pinnacles of Inner Geumgang—known for its hollow center—we can feel the rapid speed with which Jeong repeatedly layered vertical strokes to outline the title peak and the surrounding pillars. Swathed in a subtle wash and with their bottom edges left unanchored, the solid rocks appear to float.
