Silent Weapons
War not only inflicts physical damage to cities and nature, but also deeper injuries to humans. The 101 year old mother who trembles, "I still believe that my son is not dead." She reminds us of undying maternal love, the most fundamental nostalgia of mankind. While shooting the items used during the Korean War in the War Memorial, I tried to recall the horrors and tragedies of war through the weapons that kept silence in the gray background
