How this deck reads it

The scene of a child offering a cup filled with white flowers and a girl beyond a wall captures a pure sharing. Behind them a tiled-roof house with a lit window shines in mother-of-pearl, and petals fallen on the ground quietly inscribe the passage of time. The pale colors of dancheong seep into the child's clothing and the flowers, creating the warmth of simple kindness.

The wall marks the distance between the two, yet the hand passing the cup crosses that distance. The light of the tiled-roof house contrasts with the darkness of night, unfolding through the luster of mother-of-pearl the warmth and longing held by a scene in memory.

Artwork

In a garden of plum blossoms a woman and a child face each other, and the child lifts a cup filled with flowers. Behind them are a house with its lights on and cups on a stone.
