Kang and his wife persistently waited for the completion of the statue.
Even after their own dinner, some guests returned to see the finishing of the statue.
“Here is some lemon juice.”
“I brought you some fruit, hope you are comfortable.”
The staff handed out snacks to the guests. In their spare time, they threw their gazes on the statue.
“Oh, that is some sculpture.”
“It just seems so beautifully carved, and can’t believe it is just some decoration…”
They could see from the sculpture that he was no amateur. Sweat soaked Lee Hyun’s forehead as he sculpted. The cold ice he carved was also perspiring. He was sweating even though they lowered the temperature in order to stop the dry ice from melting. The fascination of making such a sculpture. When he carried a sword, he was entirely immersed. In order to create a piece of art, he had to be entirely devoted to his work.
According to the mood he felt, he moved his hands across the sculpture. The time to utilize the techniques and conceptions in his head had already passed. He shaved the statue as the flow of emotions moved his heart.
“It’s amazing.”
“I think I entrusted this job to a better sculptor.”
The hotel staff noted that the broken statue from before was of a much higher level than the one Lee Hyun was making. Lee Hyun was certainly insufficient in the delicate hand sculpting techniques. However, the differences in level were only a few steps away. It could not compare with the previous sculpture. In fact, the sculpture was a little rougher and did not feel as complete. However, Lee Hyun poured his heart into it and it began to emerge.
It is said that a good sculpture gives out its own feeling. This reminds you of a young sculptor smiling brightly just as he made his best work. Of course, he did his best to live up to it. Creating a statue that embodied her charm. However, the statue he made did not hold these special feelings. He did not know how to properly create a sculpture of a person; it was still too far away, his skill was lacking.
On the other hand, with their long time love of 40 years with his wife, Chairman Kang looked into the grandmotherly eyes of the sculpture that Lee Hyun was making. He had taken these emotions and the sculpture was possessed with them. Pouring their hearts to the sculpture.
The artistic profession of a sculptor. Even if this was not a top-level piece of art from the best sculptor.
And finally, the moment the sculpture was complete, thunderous applause rang out within the restaurant. The admiration from the guests, the staff, and even the singers were clapping in unison.
For the stubborn Chairman Kang, tears flowed freely from his eyes. The woman, who fell in love with him for a lifetime, living together for 40 years, was watching him.
In front of this sculpture of ice, she was currently at her happiest.
