Park Mira
Park Mira has been building her own world through a series of black drawings that directly face the dark side of human beings. The artist has been producing drawings and animations that portray various objects and beings that fill up the screen in black. The drawing series contains a fantasy world that does not belong to reality. The atmosphere and composition are mysterious, dark, scary and unsettling. They direct an adult fairy tale (cruel fairy tale) that twists the real world intertwined with cruel and heartless forces. People with animal heads and various macabre characters make up a cruel play. The artist makes her own unique use of various surrealistic images that express human existential agony along with the discovery of the unconscious, like holes, trees, insects, volcanoes, cliffs, animal heads, masks, and falls. Some things happen, but they are not explained in detail. Through black fantasy, the artist depicts the events and relationships that occur behind the scenes of human society like fables or myths.
