PAVILION II : THE CHEON-JI-IN TRILOGY‍ ‍
The Sacred Cosmic Trilogy Series

Stage V:
The Ascending Sprout

Chapter II: JI (EARTH)

"From the silent depths of the petrified womb, the earth exhales its first crystalline breath—a rising nebula of mineral stardust dissolving into pure light."

To capture the triumphant transition of dormant matter into vertical life, Habenhaus orchestrates a sacred 24-Hour Cellular Hydration Ritual, layering epochs of geological time upon the canvas. The foundation preserves a deeply submerged circular Hanji framework—the quiet planetary cradle of previous creations. Overlaid directly upon this ancient memory, a deeply volumetric, crater-like nest is hand-sculpted from unbleached raw mulberry Hanji (미표백 운용지). This heavy organic nest completely eschews artificial acrylic pigments; instead, it is shaded with a masterful touch of Midnight Black Gesso to create ancient volcanic shadows, and clad in the weathered, solemn patina of Oxidized Copper Leaf.

Deep within this sacred shelter, the planet’s early gems—iridescent Rainbow Bismuth with its geometric staircase structures and the high-frequency columns of Aqua Quartz—remain anchored, protected by the volcanic mantle.

Stage V celebrates 'The Ascending Sprout'—the spectacular vertical eruption of life from horizontal silence. Escaping from the open nest, a magnificent, gravity-defying stream of mineral stardust surges vertically toward the cosmos. This rising vapor is meticulously composed of shattered Raw Green Fluorite shards, delicate Peach Moonstone, fine vermiculite fragments, and a glittering galaxy of Multi-Colored Swarovski Crystals that sparkle like newly ignited stars. At the absolute zenith of this cosmic exhalation, the heavy mineral fragments dissolve into an ethereal, gaseous mist of Ghost Gold Mica Powder—a phantom gold dust that remains invisible in the shadows but glows like solar wind when kissed by shifting light. Concealed precisely within this ascending stream is a single clear Swarovski crystal—the Quantum Observer—whose silent gaze permanently collapses the chaotic wave of probability into this heavy, stratified terrestrial reality.

Dimensional Detail

Dimensional Detail: A breathtaking, highly tactile three-dimensional topography featuring a powerful vertical surge of matter rising from a deep central cradle. At the bottom-center of the 1,000°C pre-baked vermiculite bedrock, a massive, highly volumetric nest sculpted from unbleached raw mulberry Hanji and shaded with deep midnight black gesso rises dynamically, cradled by the subtle, circular contours of the submerged foundational Hanji underneath. Inside this dark, protective caldera, a raw Rainbow Bismuth stone and Aqua Quartz points are nested within a weathered crust of oxidized copper leaf. Erupting vertically from the open mouth of the nest is a beautifully dispersed chimney of minerals, composed of shattered green fluorite shards, peach moonstone, and fine vermiculite, interspersed with a dazzling array of multi-colored Swarovski crystals. At the very top, this rising stream of matter seamlessly transutes into a soft, gaseous cloud of Ghost Gold Mica Powder, catching shifting ambient light within the wood-tone architectural shadowbox to capture the absolute, rising spirit of the early Earth.
