Of this 4.6mb video Young Lyoo writes

Learning bits of Korean history from teachers and my parents, I've always felt bad about not being able to do anything about our history when I've known such sad facts. This is why I wanted to do my video collage with a Korean related topic. There are even more tragic poems written during the Japanese occupation of Korea, however, I chose Kim Gi Rim's "The Sea and the Butterfly" because I thought the clear blue and white images would go well with a visual project. The white butterfly is our nation's innocent students who would come to the world with bright hopes and ideals. However, the dark period of that era would drench their hopes like the soaked butterfly's wings in the poem, and leave them mostly in despair.

I like that Young focuses on sadness, because I'm struck more than anything when watching the video by a sense of mood. But it's not just that the mood of the video affects me; it's more that I sense a composition working at the edges of historical contexts and their relations with literature. I like how Young makes the point about allegory as a required form of expression for a culture under occupation. And I like how the video then mixes historical images with the more moody allegorical butterfly pictures. Young also translated the poem.
