The fan, rendered in monochromatic blue-gray, hums with cultural tension: in Korean superstition, sleeping with an electric fan running in a closed room is believed to cause death. The fear is not mechanical—it’s conditional. If the fan runs, then danger follows.

The title evokes programming language, but the logic here is emotional and inherited. Superstition thrives on conditionality: if you spill salt, then you must throw it over your shoulder; if a mirror breaks, then misfortune begins. These rituals are not rational—they’re behavioral scripts, executed to restore control in the face of uncertainty.

The red-orange gradient background intensifies the emotional charge, suggesting heat, urgency, and the fevered need to intervene. The turquoise spades hover like symbolic triggers—each one a clause in an invisible contract between belief and behavior.

If/Then doesn’t resolve its conditions. It presents them. A small canvas of ritual logic and symbolic tension, where belief becomes a behavioral loop—executed not for certainty, but for comfort.
