Short commentary

The closer the bond, the fewer the words. This quiet is the everyday life of Jeju.

Text by Byun Joung Hoon

The horse grazes and the child touches the earth.

The closer the bond, the fewer the words. Those who have long been companions know they are beside one another without looking.

An ordinary noon without any great event. A time of being near without being called, of being together without looking. This quiet is everyday life in Jeju.

Happiness often comes with this face. The face of nothing happening.

Return at fifty, blue Jeju, horses and boats, labour and absence.
