Medusa into the Mountain. A grandma gathers her cuttings in a bundle and crowns it to her head while she wears her rubber boots in her left hand and her sun visor in her right hand as she balances her way up the incline. Enervated from the scorching heat, she verbalizes the weariness she feels which is ironic of the energetic voice emerging in full force from the core of her diaphragm so that one could hear even meters away. Retirement is a word that rolls down the mountains and glides through the valleys without resting on any of the toiling bodies ripened by laboring the land. (Namwon, South Korea)
