here the flows are blooming&is the subheading of Chapter 6 of the novel The Boy Is Coming, which is set in the May 18 Democratic Movement by HAN KANG. here the flowers are blooming&is a story that goes from the perspective of the victim’s mother. Chapter 6, narrated by a mother who lost her middle school son during the May 18 Democratic Movement, ends with the speaker’s mother recalling her son who hated the shade of a tree blocking the sunlight. The last sentence of chapter six, “Mom, here the flowers are blooming. Why are you going dark, over there, toward the flower pin,” is a message to move away from the dark wounds of the May 18 Democratic Movement and to the bright side.

We have set up a graphic motif of the flower of the pop tree, which symbolizes the May 18 Democratic Movement. And we tried to convey the emotion of this exhibition through the image of the Yipop tree swaying over the background of Mudeungsan Mountain. We also visualized the theme of the exhibition with typography motifs that indicate a particular direction.
