This work is a modern reconstruction of the situation on the Korean Peninsula in the 21st century and each character and shape of the 12 disciples by Da Vinci, and the person who paints expresses the diversity and beauty of the culture of this period, and the person wearing the garb is now a metaphorical person who expresses the threat to the Korean Peninsula's nuclear weapons and the anxiety about war. Aluminium mirror man in Chinese style symbolizes the external pressure we are under, and the naked self, regardless of time, space and ideology, contains the meaning that we are essentially Korean. On the table, you can find tanks playing war games that lay golden eggs amid the pain of war, chicken symbolizing Peter, who denies Jesus, and kimchi, which symbolizes the fundamental homogeneity of the Korean people.
