Gyeonggi Provincial Office

🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING

"Why were the people on the street before the office each drawn in, one by one?"

📝ONGO's Reflection

A nameless painter rendered the Gyeonggi provincial office and the street before it in fine detail, not only the great buildings but the passersby, the shops, and those bearing loads on their backs. More than the authority of the office, it is the daily life stirring at its feet that takes up the larger place. I see in this painting that to record an age is not to capture great events but to leave nothing out of the ordinary days of nameless people. The small footsteps of the street, gathered together, become the true face of that place.

🌱Apply It Today

Rather than recording only the great events, set in your heart one ordinary scene that passed by today.
