by Gihun Lee

Dynamically and yet meticulously, the warnings of global warming and the hopes for humanity are portrayed with vivid realism. Through the medium of ‘time,’ the visions of a child discovering the ark of hope on judgment day and the reality of mankind living unconcerned of the environmental crisis are smoothly intertwined. As such, it is difficult to determine whether each scene is real or a figment of the imagination, only being sure that it is real at the beginning and end. However, even this is shrouded in ambiguity due to the time loop that links the two points and the sophisticated scene composition and depiction that amplifies the ambiguity of the real and imaginary makes it truly tense and exhilarating.

One of the absolute best picture-books/ silent-books that I had a pleasure to read.

Gihun Lee artwork is refreshing, capturing, dark and beautiful. The interplay between reality and imagination through the storytelling and through the detail of his pictures has captured me for hours.

It was not easy to get my hands on this book so I hope several publishing houses will buy the rights to publish/translate this amazing book.
