Writer Son Su-min reproduces portraits of famous historical masters, portraits of celebrities of the times, national treasures and cultural heritages with dramatic descriptions. But instead of finishing there, the artist attempts a whole new twist by painting countless drops of water on the finished object. The combination of the background circle and the water droplet and the inverted mirror image reflected in it, and the triple structure are depicted in a unique combination in one scene, which not only raises interest and attention to the original object, but also amplifies curiosity about the intention of the work. In addition, it seems to raise questions about the function and purpose of the painting itself, as well as the eternity of praise and evaluation given to famous paintings and masters.
Considering the coherence of the efforts and expressions made for poor descriptions, I feel that the first thing I do is the writer's dedication and praise for the model. On the other hand, by focusing on the expression of the distorted images reflected in the mirror and the fleeting drops of water, the intention is to "reinterpret the object of history as a human being, not as an electrical point of view, by asking essential questions about the contrast between life and death, and the consideration of the social relationship between truth and distortion."
