The Forest

Lee Hyun | South Korea

This is beautiful and fantastic forest. But it is very dangerous because of a lot of poisonous plants and mushrooms.
If you can see the forest, you won't be able to take your eyes off it. Beauty has the power to make even fatal inevitable.
This book tells about the temptation of beauty that can not escape.
We can think about two-sidedness of beauty and a true meaning of beauty.
This is an accordion book. The front side shows a forest with many poisonous plants, the back side contains each plant's scientific name. The name suggests that it is dangerous.
At this project I used gouache, ink and the Korean traditional paper in my painting.
