A Comfort for Teenage Boys and Girls, by Heo Seung-hee

Sometimes it feels like we’re at a dead end.

It seems both ways are blocked…

Those who look on, and the person involved, appear small and pitiful.

It feels lonely…

If only we could take a step back and look around the space behind us

We might realize there is another way…

What looks like a wall may not be a wall at all…

And that there is someone waiting to reach out at any time…

However, I believe that more time and courage are needed for that.

Not yet…

Finding my color is a good thing.

However, revealing only my color too much signifies the immaturity of adolescence.

I hope you learn how to blend in with the background while not losing yourself.

What I want to say to children going through adolescence

Was this, but suddenly I realize that I am still within adolescence myself.

In October 2015, I brought over two pieces from artist Heo Seung-hee’s exhibition titled [Adolescent Boy].

When our children are growing up, we see their chaotic feelings,

And we can feel the hearts of the parents reaching out to them.
