Lee Hyun started kicking his futon, he was so worried he couldn’t even sleep.
‘Never thought I would be suffering because of dolls again.’
The little girl’s sculpture wouldn’t leave his head.
‘Maybe I just need to make it out of silver and gold, so then the image wouldn’t matter as much…’
There was no easy way out. If he did it, his carefully built reputation would crumble.
‘I can’t get past this request.’
To give up when it became difficult was not his style. Somehow he had to find a way!
Lee Hyun headed to the market to cool his head. The morning market overflowed with people selling meat and vegetables. However, even in such a lively place the sculpture of the girl still plagued him.
‘Maybe I should read about Obstetrics and Gynecology?’
A place where you can see children that don’t have faces.
‘You often have to change diapers, suffer through the hunger cries and the sleep deprivation…’
None of that seemed to help with the little girl’s sculpture.
On the way back home Lee Hyun passed a photo studio. On display were pictures of married couples with children. After staring at pictures for a long time, Lee Hyun had an epiphany.
‘You just change the perspective of the sculpture. Parents have a lot different perspectives I suppose.’
