brother moon, sister sun

personal work, 2023

Inspired by a traditional Korean folktale called 해와 달이 된 오누이 or Brother and Sister Who Became the Sun and Moon, I explored the climatic scene where the two siblings escape from a greedy and hungry tiger by climbing up a rope into the night sky. Both brother and sister climb high up, eventually settling in the sky themselves where the brother becomes a glowing moon and his sister the shining sun.
