Featuring Korean traditional costume, "Hanbok" owned by Model Minju Kim's grandmother Kihan Lee, this photo is a tribute to her life and Minju Kim's love to her grandmother. Drown in valley in Seoul, South Korea I tried to avoid typical Hanbok Clothes-usually featured in Korean palace- and attract the audience in the middle of complex emotion I felt when I first saw Kihan Lee's left costume. I saw various elements- fashion from that vivid color, which is hard to find in contemporary hanbok and her affection on fashion/clothes and Korean tradition. Wishing her life in this very costume to be shared among the audience and also the expression of model, it is simply titled as "In the memory of Kihan Lee".
