Works to view together

Typhoon
Even after the wind disappears, the place that endured it remembers for a long time.

Storm
It is impossible to tell who protects whom. Endurance is borrowing one another's bodies.

Wind and Waves
Endurance is not remaining unhurt, but yielding little by little without disappearing.

Wind
Everything shakes, yet nothing withdraws. When the wind passes, the posture that endured remains.

Ieodo
Before the empty boat returns and before the crow cries, the storm carries the person away in Ieodo's darkest night.

Solitude
The bent form is not a trace of defeat, but the shape of endurance that has not forgotten the sky.
