Breathing a story into a dry, empty path.
A story of bricks in the city sidewalk, with varying shapes and colors. Although the author brings the sidewalk’s life into a place, not of grand creation, but still just a simple path we walk on. Mundane things, a ball, a piece of grass, a cat, and a sewer cover are all things we usually see, but as the writer focuses on these objects, they become more than just objects, but characters with stories and life. The black-and-white pictures drawn with a scratchy pencil are like a potion that leads the reader on a story of imagination of the road more freely without being tied to the colors of reality.

Na Hyunjung
(English) Due to my fondness for reading and writing I graduated with a degree in Korean literature, and enthralled by the harmonization of text and image in the world of illustrations I began to draw. While working as an illustrator I have been drawing personal pieces on the themes of humans and the environment, relationships and memory. It seems that on the other side of those sparkling brightly, a desolate something holds its ground. Light and night, to meet and to depart, the different pairs that exist, I wished to draw an illustration of them embracing one another.
