Imaginary Journey

I saw the CNN news report on June.19 that Scientists disclosed the climate index. Global temperature has risen to the highest level. Consequently, the size of the Antarctic ice has reduced to the lowest in history. Countries confront abnormal weather conditions and catastrophes all over. On top of all, I am worried as one of the Korean citizens about discharging contaminated water from Fukushima, Japan. Contaminated water will harm marine life, and I am afraid to eat seafood. Hmm..., Just sigh.

Trying to put these concerns behind me for a moment, I would consider how to spend July and August efficiently since I am so sensitive to the sultry summer. One of my projects this sultry summer is composing a novel of a different genre and subject from my previous works. Although the concept, outlines, and synopsis is already in my mind, making a detailed storyline, appropriate choices of words, and smooth paragraphs takes time. The voice in my mind keeps pushing me to do it continuously and overcoming procrastination. So, I will be hanging onto this project which is SF fantasy. Having a plan or what to do makes me move on and helps me not to stay in the same spot in my mind. Going on my imaginary journey is a special ingredient for life. My imagination can take me everywhere, from the fairyland to the uncharted place in the universe.

When I want to work on another table or the other place, I use a laptop computer. 

         

➤A Notebook printed with my artwork 


I usually work on the computer. Nevertheless, a notebook is essential for me. Whenever I come up with ideas, I grab a notebook and jot things down not to forget. This notebook was fully printed with my artwork several years ago. I have still kept it.

A New Notebook Cover with My Illustration

I had my illustration fully printed on a new notebook in Jun. I use this notebook for my journal (or mind essay). I write special events, thoughts, and feelings in this notebook. Once every week or the second week, I transfer it to the computer file. This Journaling would be a long journey into the inner mind. Also, it helps me analyze my mind to purge and organize emotions and thoughts.

I composed some verse, ' imaginary door' below,  inspired by my illustration of a notebook cover.

Imaginary Door

There is some spare door waiting for me to open.

When I finally open the door, I can go wherever I want. 

Curiosity wraps around me.

A spirit floats in the air, flying higher and higher.

Nothing shall hinder my way. 

Blue Ocean sings and dances.

The curling wave is not scary anymore. 

I see shiny stars and a moon.

I stretch my hands to hold one of the shiny stars.

Soon, a star comes into a heart

It shines my heart, inspiring me. 

Inspiration sheds colorful light

and guides me to the uncharted world.


Digital Art - 'Mission Travel in Telepathy'

This artwork reflects the current novel I am working on in the shades and moods. (A story regarding ‘mission travel and telepathic connection’)

This artwork contains another expression, though. It would be; two kinds of me reconciling and creating who I am; One that is struggling to adjust to the reality of summer city, another part of me flying out of the mundane life and inspired by the universe.

Illustration - 'Summer Journey'

I am thinking of how I go through the sultry summer. I have to be prepared myself not to be procrastinated in the summertime. This illustration expresses my summer journey, flowing on the lake slowly but not hurrying. I am not lonely because of an imaginary friend who guides me.

Summer Feeling in Art & Fashion Craft

It’s such a sultry and humid summer. The news often reports on disasters caused by global warming in different parts of the world. It makes me wonder whether AI will be able to help humans predict and prevent such catastrophes in the near future. Humanity must find solutions to address climate change, otherwise, things will only get worse. Meanwhile, serious corruption scandals and conspiracies involving the former Korean president and his wife are coming to light through a special investigation. The supporters of the former president and the current conservative party are mostly high-value tax evaders, corrupt business-people, or, most strikingly, religious followers brainwashed by cult leaders. I was shocked to realize how deeply cult members have infiltrated different parts of society, manipulating people's minds. Despite being in prison, the former president, Yoon is reportedly still receiving various secret privileges. Fortunately, the current president, Lee is doing a good ...

Mind Journal with Winter Sentiment

It is already December. I wish the pure side of the mind blooms with the hope of being ready to start a new chapter of life. This winter seems colder than ever because the pure joy of winter sentiment is interrupted by my anxiety about the Korean situation. The democratic system of Korea has become paralyzed under the corrupt regime. I would stand up for justice with sincere Korean citizens to make things right.  However, I strive to maintain my composure and hold onto the winter sentiment lingering in my mind. Apart from the anxiety in my mind, I reflected on the pure side through writing a novel, painting, and doing crafts. If I didn't have my artistic sensibility, I might have succumbed to anxiety over the situation happening in Korea. Acrylic Abstract Painting – “Homey Place” Although it may not have a specific form, colors gradually fill my mind, allowing me to envision a tranquil place. My homey place has flowers, trees, a blue lake, and a red roof. Imagining such a hom...

At the Entrance of Springtime

I look forward to seeing the chilly weather gradually yield to the vibrant greens of spring, as a timid spring breeze makes its debut at the season’s entrance. I imagine a girl holding a balloon, floating freely in the boundless blue sky. With the early bloom of spring, my imagination begins to take root, and I feel ready to immerse myself in a creative oasis. Like waking from hibernation, I stretch my creativity, embracing the invigorating spirit of spring.  Although societal phenomena often provoke negative emotions in me, a pure part of my mind continues to envision a colorful, imaginary world. The wonderland I create through art, crafts, and storytelling serves as a sanctuary, cleansing the dusty corners of my mind from negativity. This creative process allows the positive and untainted parts of myself to rise above the shadows of negativity. Particularly, the journey of writing a novel offers a space for reflection and personal growth. I find that these creative pursuits kee...
