Whether or not one conceives herself as an artist, we consider her as an artist and compose an artist's book for her, which is meant to be expressive in a singular way. So far, we've worked with text-based writers usually, but we have versatile interests in various fields of potential art which include image, research & theory, or any other things that can be realized in a book.
어린 화자가 상자를 만나 마음을 나누는 이야기다. 나하늘 작가의 그림은 글을 보완하는 기능을 멀리 우회하는 듯하지만, 사실은 빛과 어둠, 안과 밖을 바라보는 고유한 관점 속에서 글과 조응한다. 신승민의 우화적인 철학적 사유가 나하늘의 유창하지 않은 그림과 만나 우리의 정신적 무게를 덜어준다.
It is the story of a young narrator who encounters a box and shares feelings with it. Nahaneul’s illustrations seem at first to circle far away from the function of supplementing the text, yet in fact they correspond to it within a unique perspective on light and darkness, inside and outside. Shin Seungmin’s allegorical-philosophical reflections meet Nahaneul’s unpolished drawings, together easing the weight upon our minds.
