GRANDFATHER

This imaginary artwork is referred to old fantasy maps. I researched various angles of compasses and drew a lying-down compass. I used a black marker as a base to emphasize more than the other components in the drawing. Added constituent of the compass with a white pen. After examining the various compositions of the map, I included the mysterious ship, house, and fiery flower cave. I decided on pen and marker as medium and applied them to exhibit the characteristics of the waves, the appearance of the flower, and other plants in the background. Moreover, I included the Rose of Sharon flower (Mugunghwa) that represents my culture which is Korea. This flower pattern is commonly seen in Asian art which was especially seen in celadon or tile-roofed houses. In the old records, Mugunghwa was valued as the flower of heaven also called Mugunghwa country before Korea was created during the Silla era. Also included in the national anthem. By researching and using these flowers to represent my country, I created a new work related to my identity.
