A House on the Mountain

As I draw a house on the mountain, the act of scraping and peeling off the paint of nature becomes a metaphorical journey, revealing the true essence of the natural surroundings. Witnessing refugees, who endured the hardships of the Korean War, constructing homes on the mountain and resiliently continuing their lives in harmony with nature, brings forth a profound sense of vitality. Through this process, the mountain itself seems to embrace the refugees, imparting invaluable lessons about coexistence with nature. This poignant portrayal highlights a parallel with our own lives: still in a state of unsettlement, navigating through uncertainty, yet fueled by a growing self-awareness and a collective determination to move forward.
