These were the process for this week. I complete with the character and the background set.
- Final Documentation
Once upon a time, there were so many tigers in Korea that they were missing people, which, of course, were considered to be done by tigers. No one has ever imagined ghosts or monsters. Because the scariest thing on earth for them was tigers.
Tigers can be seen in all traditional Korean fairy tales. The main characters of stories that fight, talk, makeup, and eat with people are always tigers and humans. Although seen in Korean traditional fairy tales, tigers have been considered very intimate and scary to Koreans. That’s why it’s hard to find scary stories with ghosts in Korea. When a person disappears or dies, people went up to the mountain with weapons and looked for tigers.
I feel very close to tigers who appear in many traditional fairy tales that I have read since I was young. The main character of every story I have read is a tiger, sometimes a bad character, sometimes a good character.
While making this diorama, I tried to express the same scene that I always saw in a fairy tale with all the tigers I’ve read. A tiger walking towards people late at night, and a tiger in my memory, to fumble through fairy tales.
Tigers are very precious animals to me. I have lived with many tigers so far. Because it is the motto in my life and the animal I always live within my heart. I have always lived with the courage and quiet strength of tigers as my motto, so the experience of making this diorama was very special. It is the first time that I have ever made a three-dimensional tiger by myself. It was a good study and experience.
