This work used the elements of the visual literacy, in the form and the color to express the Korean image. The visual literacy of eight trigrams for divination has been created with traditional Korean colors of Obang (the five natural) colors. I have used the each eight forms of the divination as the appropriate images for their meanings.

The Eight Trigrams for Divination represent the form of nature and life in detail. The matter represents the sky, Kon the earth, Kan the mountain and the Tae the pond. The Jin means the lightening, Son the wind, Gam the water and the Yi the fire.

I have used the five elements as above, out of eight trigrams mainly in my work. Kon as the first forming elements of the trigram, represents the sky and the number 1. I chose to use Korean language, as the language is the most basic method of creating all cultures.

Tae symbolizes the combination of positive and negative. I have constructed the Tae as the image that reflects traditional Korean ceremony of ancestral shrine’s sacrificial ritual, the process of ceremony between the living and the dead for well-being of the universe.

Kan is the seventh divination representing the strong, secure and grandeur scale. Kan represents Taekwon-do, which is the traditional Korean martial art. Taekwon-do is formed in eight faces with Kan representing the 7th face. It also means the beginning.

Kon has the meaning of circulation with beginning and ending implications. The Taegeuk is the Kon’s image that represents the circulation and harmony. Taegeuk is formed in positive and negative, the most basic elements in universal creation.
