A human being has to rely on five senses. Seeing, touching, smelling, hearing, and eating. Most people live their lives naturally keeping the balance on them, but some people live their lives keeping themselves intact from the senses. <Na Mirae>. For her, the senses are what she puts before herself: namely, a premise.


She is extremely beautiful. But she completely lacks of the function to express her emotion. So, instead of showing her emotion to the outside, she is used to express them into her works of art. The only time she could smile to show her teeth was her past, the time she was with her mother when her mother was still alive. After her mother died, she lost means to express herself and lost her smile at the same time. In the hope that no one believes her, she slowly locks herself.


After that, she transferred to a remote school only to exhaust herself more. A landscape filled only with forests and unrecognizably poor drawings. She went to there for recovery, but it was only an agony or a discomfort for her.


But, was it a god, or like some song, was she born to be loved? Among the poor paintings, there was the one. A painting of a dead bird. She cried aloud in front of the painting. As she says, for the first time after her mother died.


There was one who happened to be the chance of opening her emotion: <Ju Namyeob>. The emotion which started from curiosity starts being entangled with purity, wonder, and desire to be mixed together. Perhaps she wanted to be understood. It made her to try to reveal herself by the most guileless way, without a shame.


She did it with neither of malice nor corruption. A child’s purity is explicitly direct. Nothing held her back. Only her will, to be understood as a whole, made her dare.


She grew up that way. She’s not different from then. She is still locking herself in. She compares herself to Abraxas from Demian the novel, and claims that she’s a bird with broken wings. No one understands her, and no one can put her into their drawing. Then she meets him again. The one in her childhood, who liberated her only emotion. Maybe their meeting was close to an emotion similar to hope or desire. Like that, their relationship starts again. In the story of her, who is honest and brave more than anything, so more instinctive and honest, will he become the one who breaks the hard shell, or a cowardly, powerlessly escaping man?


Her world makes us stop the breathing and watch each cut silently. Through the weighty storytelling and the lines of drawing to the depth as deep as the storytelling of her world, the erotic side of her is not the only thing we can meet. The sunken psychology, frozen tight. We have to understand it and embrace it, and we have to sympathize with what she has.


Maybe she’s the purest. At the same time, she’s also the most honest and childlike.
