Mirror
Style frames

Timeline: 2 weeks
Role: Concept, Illustration
I produced eight style frames by interpreting the Korean poet Lee Sang’s poem ‘Mirror’. This poem expresses self-division 
as confusion and distress that the difference between the real and in the mirror himself. This poem seemed to represent me who 
is sometimes confused by the difference in my personality, which is quite different between Korea and the U.S.

In the poem, he still remains confused and distressed by self-division. However, the phrase: If it wasn't for the mirror, how would 
I have met myself in the mirror? blew my mind, and I interpreted it in a positive way. The concept is Finding Myself, I expressed the 
process of recognizing that it is a part of me and embracing it as one of me even though I am confused by my own personality.

Lee Sang's poem Mirror
There's no sound in the mirror.
There's never been such a quiet world like that.

I have ears in the mirror, too.
I have two poor ears that don't understand me.

I'm left-handed in the mirror.
I'm a lefty who doesn't know how to shake my hand.

Because of the mirror, I can't touch myself in the mirror.
If it wasn't for the mirror, how could I meet myself in the mirror?

I don't have a mirror now, but there's always me in the mirror.
I don't know, I'll focus on my lonely business.

I'm quite the opposite of myself in the mirror, but I'm also quite similar.
I'm pretty upset that I can't care for myself in the mirror.

거울속에는소리가없소
저렇게까지조용한세상은참없을것이오

거울속에도내게귀가있소
내말을못알아듣는딱한귀가두개나있소

거울속의나는왼손잡이오
내악수(握手)를받을줄모르는악수(握手)를모르는왼손잡이오

거울때문에나는거울속의나를만져보지를못하는구료마는
거울아니었던들내가어찌거울속의나를만나보기만이라도했겠소

나는지금(至今)거울을안가졌소마는거울속에는늘거울속의내가있소
잘은모르지만외로된사업(事業)에골몰할께요

거울속의나는참나와는반대(反對)요마는 또꽤닮았소
나는거울속의나를근심하고진찰(診察)할수없으니퍽섭섭하오
