My friends from the hometown

offered me a very meaningful project,

so I decided to take part in it.

From the start, I titled it, “Longings."

I aimed to create a symbol

that wouldn’t feel too heavy,

but would resonate with the seniors from my hometown

and connect with their lives.

When I get reminded of hometown, parents are the first thing that comes to mind.

I wanted to reflect their unconditional longings and wishes for their children,

and pay homage to their devotion and strength.

And finally,

it’s done.

As with every project’s conclusion,

I’m feeling free from the thoughts that occupied me for the last few months.

I gave my absolute best,

so I have no regrets.
