Director’s Comment
Director's Comment
1. Acyclical view of life : About the old attitudes toward life and death.
We livein every single moment that countless lives are lost through natural disasters,terrorism, and unexpected accidents.
Throughthis work, we are going to show you the process of the dead's being put at thestarting point of the life. Also, we are going to give you a moment to thinkabout any kind of mind that can sustain your life.
Throughthe journey of the waterdrop, I would like to understand the circulation of thewater and the continuity of the life in the same context.
2. ‘Mulagi’a Jeju dialect that refers to a newborn baby.
There isa word 'Mulagi' in Jeju island dialect which refers to a newborn baby. If youmeasure it, in the huge oceanlike world, the word means a drop of water thatsymbolizes a tiny and delicate life.
3. Thesnow finds its place and lowers.
