And, it seems, the effects of each photographic process subtly ripple through the daily lives of the people involved; yet life—always unswerving and unpredictable—does not hold back its blows. Still, there is always a moment to catch one's breath for reflection and meditation amidst all these experiences.

(And those scenes of Jieun with the flowers remind me of the final scenes in the animated film *Corpse Bride*, where Emily breaks free and moves on to another realm 😢😢).

Even as a photographer who helped others see life from a different perspective, he is not immune to life's burdens; the synergy of Jieun’s legacy and memories reinforces that even those who help others need a safe haven to feel light and balanced in both soul and mind.

It’s not just the work pressure; there’s also the other side of the coin—feeling inept because a lack of momentum leaves you unable to see a purpose—which borders on the desperate... and it seems that photos, tea, and now a garden aren't just distractions, but ways to find peace in the little details (it reminded me of Nathan Algren’s perception of spirituality in the movie *The Last Samurai*).

Indeed, every day calls for reflecting on the need to take things one step at a time; family dilemmas, grief, mental health issues, and various life challenges require care to guide us toward a solution and a more conscious healing process—yet if we leave this up to society, it just becomes a taboo, as usual. 🙄🙄

Career pressure, family disagreements, and the demands of a routine played out through photos confront us with certain dilemmas: are your goals for growth worth the cost of missing out on good moments and sacrificing the peace within your soul? 🤔🤔

"Believing is the truth one cannot see"—Haein had to steel herself to care for someone whose life has dealt blow after cruel blow... Yes, adulthood is fraught with cruelty, and without a safe harbor, we are swept away like leaves in the wind (note: I liked the use of certain jazz tracks and classical pieces as references).🥹🥹

Yeah... there are so many situations going on, and at the same time, new ones are unfolding into potential problems—problems that could be solved if people just had a little patience. But, as Gandalf used to say, it is the small acts of nobility and love that keep evil at bay, and the photos really drive that message home beautifully 🥹🥹

In fact, part of the text reminded me of a chorus by the band Charlie Brown Jr. ("I held back my tears because I didn't want to show my emotions, since I was there to observe and learn a little more about perception") 🥺🥺

Man, so Jieun has left this world? That really makes me sad. Still, Haein is now taking on the mission of bringing light to those who need comfort during difficult times and life's hard knocks.
