Storiescape by Sueim Koo

July 18 - September 3

Although you may not be able to see these in the titles and images, sadness and regret have always been buried beneath my abstract landscapes. The precious memories of childhood are buried in them as well.

The moment I experienced my father's death is also buried there. My mom's silent crying above my sleeping head is clearly there too. And yet, I don't know when it started, but the buried sadness and regret are starting to disappear.

It seems to be because of a new sanctuary. It hugs me, comforts me, and gives me warm energy.

Above all, it pats my head and whispers "It’s alright" to me. It leads to the light, which seems to say “from now on, you will have memories of smiles and laughter.” In the space of this sanctuary, I become a soul that loves all stories of the world.

And the stories that are started here in my nest, I shall call "Storiescape"
