This piece is an interactive artwork created to commemorate the Sewol Ferry tragedy and raise awareness in the United States, where the incident is not widely known. The artwork features a bouquet made of paper boats, symbolizing the lives lost.

The year the artwork was created marked the time when the victims, many of whom were students, should have been celebrating their graduation. After learning about the tragedy through a brief explanation, viewers were invited to participate in the act of remembrance by placing individual flowers into the bouquet of paper boats, creating a moment of shared mourning and reflection.
