The artist has carried out practical art activities throughout history, including portraits of victims and unnamed residents of the island village. This is her sixth solo exhibition, which realistically depicts portraits of Japanese Japanese Military Sexual Slavery victims using Korean paper, acrylic, and pastel.

Whether a sleeping person is an arbitrarily or unintentionally trapped prisoner or a dreamy young man, she preaches that it is fair and beautiful. However, it can also be interpreted as a time of danger in contact with death when it crosses a certain boundary.
