Parallel Spring: Namsan Tower

A portal between city memory and mythic forest

A black panther-like tiger steps through a portal, mid-transition. A moment ago, it was on a street in Itaewon. Now it finds itself in the heart of a mythical forest.

Behind it, Namsan Tower fades like a distant memory. Ahead, turtles and koi float through the air. Trees whisper, and the world turns soft and unfamiliar.

This piece captures the brief instant when modern scenery and ancient myth overlap. Stillness and motion, reality and fantasy — all held in a single, dreamlike pause.

Created using AI-assisted composition and detailed hand-drawing, the work belongs to a series that explores layered time and space within the city of Seoul.

Part of the Parallel Spring series. Created in Singapore. Open to global collaborations.
