Before the painting

A pony stands before a blue coast, rock island and distant mountains; the palette is still moist with colour, and home remains strangely distant.

Art-Historical Structure

The title names Jeju directly, yet the island appears not as a place already possessed but as a home that must be seen again.

The remaining blues record the interval between physical return and artistic arrival. Fūdo is not inherited automatically; it must be lived through again.

Key Sentence

The body arrived first; the mind travelled farther before entering the fūdo of home.CORE 06 · Jeju · 1976
