This work is in combination with a novel that I wrote about the Korean social structure that I feel is desolate for me. I think the social structure resembles a rigid plastic, where people live in the same way and lose their primitive childhood dream. To me, it feels like a factory that repeatedly makes a uniform human being. I wrote a story about a hypothetical modern man who lives in such a frustrating social structure. The character represents most of us who want to escape reality to utopia. Based on this idea, I work on extracting visual images of many utopian scenes for the hero to reach.
