This is a movie poster made out of my oil paintings.

For me, the hummingbird was an occasion for me to meet the harsh times.
The main focus of this work was not to try to paint a pretty piece.
But ironically, I tried to pursue beauty in detail.
Maybe because the movie was very carefully made, I felt heavy air throughout the movie.
I tried to make that feeling felt in the artwork.
I think the juxtaposition of color, coarse texture and shadow expression on the figure are fit well with the atmosphere of the movie.
I was so happy and unique experience to be able to participate in poster making in a great movie.
About the movie 'House of hummingbird'
Set in 1994 when the Seongsu Bridge collapsed in Seoul.
Eun-Hee (Park Ji-Hoo) is a middle school student. She lives with her parents who run a mill, older sister and older brother. While each of the family members struggle to deal with their own problems, Eun-Hee wanders. An female adult comes to Eun-Hee. That female adult is the only one who can understand Eun-Hee.
If you watch a movie, you will hear an ordinary line at the end.
The lines will eat your heart out.
What's the right way to live?
Some days I feel like I know, but I really don't know for sure.
I just know that when bad things happen, good things happen too.
And that we always meet someone and share something with them.
The world is fascinating and beautiful.
