Artist's commentary
COMMISSION 2025
우리네 인생의 끝, 그너머 저편에도 다른 형태의 삶이 있다면 어떨까요?
저는 기억과 세상에 남긴 인과 연이 유일한 재산이니
사람들에게 더 많은 기회를 주고 싶다는 생각이 드네요.
같은상황에 놓인다면 우리는 미련없이 걸어갈 수있을까요?
즐거운 작업이었습니다. 감사합니다.

人生の終焉、その向こう側に別の形の生があるとしたら、どうでしょうか。
私がこの世に残せる唯一の財産は、記憶と、人々との間に結んだ「因(いん)」と「縁(えん)」だけです。だからこそ、周りの人々により多くの機会を与えたいという願いが生まれます。
もし同じ状況に置かれたとき、私たちは未練なくその先へと歩んでいけるでしょうか。おそらく、誰かのために蒔いた種がいつか芽吹くと信じる心が、私たちの背中を優しく押してくれるはずです。
素晴らしい作業をご一緒できて光栄でした。ありがとうございました。

If there lies another form of existence beyond the end of our lives, what would it be like?
When the only wealth we truly possess is the memories we hold and the connections we've woven, the desire to provide more opportunities for others becomes a noble purpose. It is a way of extending our essence through the lives of others.
In that final moment, could we walk toward the unknown without looking back? Perhaps, knowing that we’ve paved the way for someone else gives us the peace of mind to take those last steps with grace, rather than regret.
It has been a pleasure working with you. Thank you for sharing such a profound reflection.
