- Overview
-
The giraffe, who lived a dull, colorless life moving toward something big, realizes it's true value through fishing, and shows the process of it changing into color. The big fish that the giraffe wants to catch is a representation of human greed and a victim of global warming and pollution. Although expressed through beautiful illustrations, the artist does not forgo the message of fish dying by eating industrial waste in the sea. The chandelier which is made with garbage and the memories of the giraffe, is a direct product of recycling, and shows how our lives can shine more brightly with different moments collected together.

Myung, Soojung
Myung Soojung (F) studied painting at Ewha Woman's University. While studying, she thought she would like to share all forms of art, including music, with all the people around the world.
Myung spent time and effort interviewing deaf people to learn how they understand music, which led to the creation of the picture book I Like Music for My Eyes. She wrote the book with the hope that everybody in the world could overcome their physical limitations and dance to music. The book won the Main Prize at the first Lotte Published Literature Awards. She remembers all of the small and insignificant moments in life and makes picture books about them, delivering clear messages and creating her own world of artwork.
