Description
The word “Han” (한) is one of the most complex and untranslatable concepts in Korean culture. It describes a specific, deeply rooted collective feeling of hidden sadness, melancholy, injustice and longing, intertwined with hope and perseverance. With this inscription, the author says that the Korean language is not just a means of communication, but a living archive of national memory and emotion.
