There had been a shanty town which was kind of near to my university in Seoul. It was called JungNeung-Gol. One day I went there with a friend to take some snaps of the small old village. As it was a far cry from the average area I could see lots of abandoned supplies and junk as well as derelict homes. This town would soon be developed in the near future and then the village would be wiped out completely, to be replaced with high rise buildings and residential houses. Typically, objects with historical significance are kept in museums or photographed for record keeping. There won’t be many who will remember a small, poor town in Seoul, let alone the junk and abandoned gadgets in there. In a wish to put everlasting life to the dumped objects which used to belong to people and form part of their lives, I have drawn creatures that are born out of junk. In a hope that these beings would carry the memories of the residents who once lived there, cherishing the memory of the little town.
