2019 Do-Kae-Bi(道快碑)展

a tombstone seeking and enjoying the truth

“Our life is the incomplete course that unexpected things occurs.
But I think when we reveal them frankly and overcome them,
we can slowly lead an complete life.”

Do-Kae-Bi
Goblin which I want to make doesn’t mean a phrase referred to as Gyeongsangnamdo
dialect ‘Do Kae Bi’, but shows self-portrait, a memorial stone seeking and enjoying the
truth. Ordinally, a goblin is misunderstood as Japanese ‘Oni’ which bullies people,
Korean traditional Do Kkae Bi was humorous and friendly one who gave a prize to the
good and did mischief to the bad. It is said that everyone around you can be Do Kkae Bi,
which is a warning about morality that ancestors wanted to give later generations
through the story of Do Kkae Bi and represents humorous sense showing the
preciousness of daily life. Do Kae Bi which I have made is not an inessential shape of
Korean Do Kkae Bi. I think the meaning of Do Kkae Bi has something in common with
‘moral’ in these modern times when civilization has been developed fast and the most
important morality has been lacked. That is, ‘Do Kae Bi ’ is my proposal that I want
contemporary people to have a honest sight and be considerate of others’ feelings. Also,
Do Kae Bi is a self-portrait as a one person who is a member of society and look it as
well as warning about moral laxity which contemporary people have lost.
