There are two types of consolations. 

The one that you receive naturally, 
and the one that you create and give it to yourself.


The Figure

The painting shows a figure 
with an interesting proposition. 
He has a tiny head, no hands, 
an engorged stomach, and an enormous foot.
It looks like he is walking towards somewhere.
But he doesn’t seem to have a direction. 
He seems more like he is 
deeply pondering about something, 
putting his head down and covering his eyes.


What is he thinking? Where are his hands and arms?
Is he hiding them in his pocket  or in himself?



He is wearing a hat.

The hat seems to have a piece of sky with some glitering stars in it.





Maybe that is what he is thinking about?


His belly looks full.

Hmm..

Kim has connected big bellies with 
greeds through the piece 22-23-24 (2020-2021).


Is he a greedy man?

His foot on the front looks unreasonably huge.

Is that really his foot?
Or is the foot dragging him?


Oh wait! 

There is a star sparkling at the tip of the foot!


Ah-ha, he might be following that star!



Natural Consolation; A Tree

Whoaaaa look at all the stars!

That must be the stars in the sky that was in side of The Figure‘s hat! 


Kim hints that The Tree takes 
the role as a natural consolation.

It indicates those conforts that are 
naturally existing and giving you shades. 

The only thing you need to 
get it is to approach to them. 

Artificial Consolation; A Parasol

A Parasol stands for a different consolation than A Tree.

It is artificial, man-made and you need to open it up for yourself.

Yet, it gives you a shade as good as A Tree.


This series gently echoes the recurring rhythm of human life, emphasizing that, even amid challenging days with sparse external warmth, we hold the power to repeatedly find comfort within ourselves.
