If I ask you to draw me a picture of the sky, what will you do?
Guess that most of the people (including me) will start with some clouds looking like cotton candies or twingling stars
But this man did a different thing
Lee Oi-Soo_draw a bird to illustrate the sky
Say in the pictures: “Draw a bird, then the rest of the picture will be the sky” ( I’m not sure is it exact because my Korean is bad, but the meaning is right anyway ^^() )
This reminds me of a phrase: “Think outside the box”. Really, Lee did think and do unusual thing to illustrate his idea of the sky.
Great work!
