Each round of the project has its own unique set of curated themes, which our artists interpret in their own way through their contributions to the gallery. The curators of each theme provide info, mood boards and guidance throughout the creative process. Below you'll find information on each of our round one themes.
Curated by Wania W., Emily Palmer Works under this theme take inspiration from classic 18th century art and painting styles—often consisting of soft colors, graceful lines and a romantic glow. Like the art of that era, we're reflecting Hyunjin's refined presence and ever expressive spirit, capturing timeless beauty in every detail. Works have been inspired by Baroque, Rococo, and Neoclassical art or styles from the time period. View in archive
Curated by ChristinART, Wania W., Maikyo Hyunjin is bold yet graceful, like a modern prince—possessing strong stage charisma and a softer, more delicate side. A black and white palette emphasizes this duality: contrasting a striking presence and commanding energy with subtle expressions and refined gestures. Celebrating resilience and transformation, golden elements weave through the works under this theme and echo Hyunjin's radiant presence. View in archive
Curated by ChristinART, Efi Like Monet, Hyunjin finds meaning in light, color, and fleeting moments, imbuing simple scenes with emotion and life. These combine with our own concept of Hyunjin as the lotus, the colorful bloom representing his artistry and the beauty he inspires in us. STAY are the sepals—we are Hyunjin’s supporters, wrapping around him with unwavering love and shielding his dreams through every season. View in archive
Curated by Comflexi, Efi, Jess Nana is a story of found family, resilience and artistic freedom, illustrating the depth of human connection in a punk rock aesthetic. Flowers, the lotus in particular, are a symbol of the series and the second half of this theme. They are beautiful, delicate, and short-lived—just like so many of our own emotions. Hyunjin often includes flowers in his art, making them a personal symbol of his own expression. View in archive
Curated by Cmy, Comflexi, Grace, Vero While Hyunjin may be our project's muse and the inspiration for many of us here as artists, we also want to show our love and appreciation for all of the members of Stray Kids. Similarly to how they found each other and were able to accomplish their dreams, they have connected all of us as fans and artists and helped many of us find joy and strength even through life's challenges.

Curated by Annie, Comflexi Inspired by the dreamy, atmospheric music of Wave to Earth, this theme captures subtle melancholy, quiet reflection and artistic freedom. Like W2E, Hyunjin has a thoughtful, creative presence and inspires deep, invisible connections through his art and performance. Like sunlight dancing on gentle waves, Hyunjin’s presence shifts and glimmers with graceful energy, full of subtle power and endless depth. View in archive
Curated by Annie, Efi, Wania W., Leaf This theme is an open-ended personal reflection on the impact Hyunjin has had on each of us. It's the warmth he inspires, the beauty he brings through art and performance, and the connection we feel as fans to him and to each other. Every gesture, every smile, every note is a reminder of his artistry, his heart, and the joy he sparks and shares—making him not just an idol, but a source of inspiration and comfort.
