Hug 포옹
Artist's curation:
When I greet people, I always give them a hug.
No matter who they are, I want to approach them closely, as one person.
In this way, we become a little closer,
and we become "us."
Our joys, struggles, and stories of living intertwine together.
난 사람들과 인사를 할 때 꼭 안아준다.
그 사람이 어떤 사람이건 상관없이, 한 사람으로 가까이 다가서고 싶음이다.
이로써 조금은 가까워지고, 우리가 된다.
서로의 즐거움과 힘듦과 살아가는 이야기들이 함께가 된다.
