When I heard about the Thought Hall (Bangasa Bodhisattva) exhibition at the National Museum of Korea, I wanted to visit it first. However, I finally saw what I had been putting off and putting off after hearing that people were flocking to it in the Crown era.
With a benevolent smile and an impressive pose that looks both awkward and comfortable, the statue of a half-confident Buddha makes me feel at ease just by looking at it, regardless of religion. The graceful curves and soft but powerful workings are so attractive that the more you look at them, the more you want to keep them by your side.
The two pensive, pensive statues have a slightly different feel. On the one hand, a strangely happy smile. On the other hand, it's nice to feel a strangely amused smile.
As anyone would do, I want to stare for about an hour with two thinking statues in the thinking room. If I get the chance, I want to revisit and record black and white photos.
I bought products at the National Museum of Korea with some regrets. I brought home a mother-of-pearl plate for Sa-Sang, a blanket cushion with a 'nose' under my son's glass.... Each of them brought home one of their favourite items.
Now, the thinking statue will remain my companion at the side of my desk. I want to become a person like Sayu-sang, who is soft but has great power.
A space where you feel as if the stars are falling in torrents... I think I will remember it for a long time.
