THE ROOT

THE ROOT by hyung-jin chun from korea

designer's own words:

A hieroglyphic Chinese character ‘木’ is shaped a tree which is standing on the ground.
If we add one line to a tree character at the bottom which is representing the root, the tree character becomes 本 which is meaning of the foundation or the root.
Nature is a basis not only for a human kind, but also for every creature in the world.
When we cut the trees and dig the ground for increasing our life quality, it is like we destroy our foundation ourselves.

Our nature has been damaged and our foundation (thought, moral, ideology) also has been damaged.

As every single dot make a relation and be the line, we have to know the relationship between nature and us is like a relationship with a Band-Aid.
