KIM SUNDOO
KOREA, B.1958
"살아가면서 우리는 욕망의 토대 위에 크고 작은 수많은 꿈을 꾼다. 어떤 꿈은 이루어지고, 어떤 꿈은 좌절된다. 어쩌면 진정한 꿈꾸기는 결과보다는 과정에 있다. 꿈을 이루는 것보다 꿈꾸는 그 과정 자체에 의미를 둘 때 우리는 행복해진다."
"In our lives, we have countless dreams, both big and small, driven by our desires. Some dreams come true, while others are frustrated. Perhaps true dreams lie in the journey rather than the destination. We find happiness when we attribute meaning into the act of dreaming itself, rather than the achievement of our dreams."
