I Need Art: Reality Isn¿t Enough - A memoir in images from the iconic South Korean Sally Rooney illustrator

Everything I feel from reading and listening to music
I commit to paper in black pen
And gradually, blot by blot, stroke by stroke,
A new mode of expression emerges.
At this point, it’s just scribbles in a diary
Not yet reborn as “Henn Kim” of the future.
