Artists 베리킴 - Be Gentle With Us
본문
‘ I wish everyone can be happy as knowinng the value of their own attraction and identity! ’
Berry Kim reckons that true happiness comes from true “my appearance,” “real value,” and “observation in normal life” in an increasingly uniform materialistic world not from someone in the SNS world.
So Berry Kim leaves people with a lesson that true happiness comes from me not from the owner of the Gangnam building by bringing life to the things around you in daily life and making them special.
For example, clothes, shoes, sun, Gangnam, buildings, traffic lights, watches, phones, tables, beer bottles, socks, bags, etc. are silently guarding us, but after a certain period of time, people feel tired of them. She thinks they seemed lonely in a rapidly changing society and she feels they look like her.
They comforted Berry Kim and she has made her own ‘BerryLand’ by attaching eyes, nose, mouth, arms and legs to them, dressing them in fashion, bringing them to life, and creating them in the form of characters. That way, she feels special not only from herself but from everything.
Characters and works created by Berry Kim’s own perspective give pleasant words of consolation to modern people who are longing for vague success.
Through Berry Kim’s work, she realizes her possibilities, desires, and limitations and learns what the true value of life is.
