Entry Description

When I was little I used to go to my grand fathers house, he lived near the border of North Korea, where you could barely hear their morning radio and night radio. He told me it was to brain wash their people. As I know more facts of North Korea, I was amazed. I was amazed for how this could actually happen and I wish this was a a grotesque myth.
At some point, I found a lopsided documentary showing the greatness of North Korea and their patriotic spirit. It made me feel that everything I saw was a psychopathic fiction. I decided to create a collection dedicating to the "Great" North Korea, using the elements of their patriotism as a metaphor to Kim's preposterous dictatorship.
