For reasons unknown, the little bear lost its life—but it did not ascend to heaven. Instead, it transformed into a ghost. Draped in the fur it wore in life, it continues to wander the world, aimlessly exploring the afterlife and seeking answers that may never be found.
Within this fantastical realm woven from elements of death and spirits, ShinWoo, the artist, employs dreamy, sweet colors and imagery to explore heavy themes such as loss and mortality in a playful, approachable way. By confronting the essence of death through its whimsical forms, the work invites viewers to reflect on the meaning of life, discovering the value of love and companionship along the journey.
