We were inspired by Yi Hwang's sijo “Dosansipyigok(도산십이곡)”.
To depict landscapes shown in the sijo, which perhaps Yi Hwang himself appreciated when he was stayed in Andong, we took Dosan sowon as our portrait subject. As we were taking shots of Dosan sowon, we felt like we could feel what Yi Hwang felt in the past time. Then, Andong folk village where our ancestors' lives still remains, made us to feel Yi Hwang's humble life, at least indirectly, since that village is quite far from modern secular-or industrialized-Koreans' lives. Yi Hwang himself also rooted in Andong area, so we felt descriptions of 도산십이곡 are closely related to Andong folk village. These are the reason why we chose Dosan sowon and Andong folk village as our subjects of portrait.
