On Sept. 15 this year I went to Sky Park(Haneul Park), Mapo-gu, Seoul. Originally the area was used for burying the wastes from Seoul citizens during 15 years (1978 – 1993). The dumped wastes made two big mountains and broad flat landfill. Seoul city tried to change the area into ecological, environmental parks. Sky park is one of them. On top of the park I sketched two pieces. People enjoyed picnic or walking with their friends or families. It was my first visit. I thanked for the efforts of all which could change the waste landfill into such beautiful breathing places.
