Fighters in the Silence
This project is inspired by the renowned Korean poet Yun Dong-ju. I was intrigued by the coexistence of traditional Korean, Japanese, and Western attire amidst diverse cultures at that time. Many poets including Yun Dong-ju expressed emotions and obligations not through guns or swords for Korea's independence, but through the arts of poetry and literature. Hence, I named the project 'Fighters in the Silence.' The text on the cover image is an excerpt from one of his poems.
