The Dance of Desserts

“Let’s paint.”

When his mother said those words, Jongbin wanted to attach the snack wrapper he had been eating to the canvas. Painting is an expression of freedom—so anything is possible.

He also picked up some thumbtacks from the table. Carefully, he pushed them into the canvas, lining them up one by one. Deeply focused, he paid attention to the spaces between them and created his own playful patterns.

Then he painted freely with acrylics and crayons. Afterward, Jongbin ran around the living room and danced.

A time for painting, running, and dancing.

Perhaps the colors and lines on this canvas, along with the repeating patterns of thumbtacks, are traces of Jongbin’s own sweet and joyful dance.

“그림 그리자.” 엄마의 말에 종빈이는 먹던 과장 봉지를 캔버스에 붙히고 싶어 했다. 그림은 자유로움의 표출이니깐 뭐든 가능하지. 테이블 위에 있던 압정도 꺼냈다. 종빈이는 캔버스 위에 압정들을 줄 지어 꽂았다. 깊이 집중하고 간격을 맞추어 재밌는 패턴을 만들어 냈다.

물감과 크레용으로 색칠을 하고 거실을 뛰어 다니며 춤을 췄다.
