The Grand Congratulaotry Ceremony of the Festive Royal Wedding of King Heonjong
"Why did an entire nation set down, together, the joyous occasion of a single person?"
📝ONGO's Reflection
This is a painting that unfolds across a full screen the ceremony celebrating the king's wedding. Officials standing in rows, orderly regalia, a flawless arrangement compose the order of one scene. I see, in this painting, a way of handling joy. The more festive the occasion, the more they kept it from scattering, holding it within procedure and form so it might last. Great joy, let slip alone, soon vanishes; recorded together, it becomes a shared memory. Order is not a frame that suppresses feeling but a vessel that preserves a precious moment, as this scene tells us.

The more joyful the matter, do not let it slip away; set it down as a record and share it together.
