Encased in monochromatic black and white, lithographic crayon transforms a drawing of a sad little girl, a dog, and a huge black bird into something timeless and surreal. A sad girl derives comfort from a huge blackbird who flew her away from quarrelling parents and a home filled with tension. On the wings of this magical bird, the girl flies, lets go, and comes back whole and smiling. (Korean)
