🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING
"What if only someone's painting remembers a place that has now changed beyond recognition?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
This painting by Jeong Seon holds the scene of the western suburb beyond Seodaemun in eighteenth-century Hanyang, around what is now the Gyonam and Muak districts. The fields and roads the painter saw have changed their face, buried under the years, yet this single sheet has held fast the old face of that land. Here I see the weight of recording. Nothing stays unchanged, but thanks to one who carefully kept that moment, a vanished scene comes back to life. To draw something down is the quietest resistance against time.
