🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING
"What was the heart that took the trouble to draw and preserve an emptied old palace site?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
This is a painting of Gyeongbok Palace that Gyeomjae Jeong Seon rendered in light color on silk. The palace site, long empty after it burned in the Imjin War, the painter held on the canvas with a composed hand. I see, in this painting, a heart that would remember what has vanished. Even a fallen place now, the meaning it once held revives within the act of painting. Simply forgetting what is lost and clearly remembering that it was lost are different. Memory leaves a root in the place of loss, becoming the strength to raise it again someday.

Rather than hastily erasing what is lost, remember its meaning clearly.
