"Unveiling" emerged from a conversation with friends that delved into the question of what constitutes a complete person. This prompted me to reflect on my personal journey—from a supportive family to overcoming the many challenges that life has thrown at me. I came to the realization that a well-rounded perspective on life is shaped by the delicate balance of love and trauma. Those who only face trauma often struggle with love, while those immersed only in love can often find everyday hardships overwhelming. Recognizing the importance of this balance, I chose to embrace both love and trauma, seeking to understand and navigate their coexistence.
The support of loving friends and family becomes a vital anchor in navigating life's traumas, while a truly good friend plays a crucial role in helping us peel away the layers of our identity. Reflecting on the significance of trauma in acquiring life lessons, I developed the concept of "Unveiling." In this visual metaphor, life resembles a chess game—challenging and tearing us apart, yet revealing its beauty through the presence of friends who assist in peeling away the layers. I depend on the honesty of those in my life to uncover the beauty inherent in both negative and positive experiences.
