Commentary

A father is asked by his son Su-kun to become a tree which doesn't speak and continues to watch over his son without saying anything even if asked. This work clearly and colorfully depicts the sense of distance between the child, who is discovering new things in his own way, and the father who accompanies his son on his journey of discovery.
