Cho Duckhyun is an artist who incorporates drawings enlarged from old portrait pictures within black box-like structures, and reveals unknown aspects of modern and contemporary Korean history as if opening old trunks. One of the two photographs used in this work is a picture of a young Japanese girl who died mad after losing her lover at war and is based on a story the artist heard from an immigrant of Japanese descent whom he met in Brazil. The other is a photograph of a Korean youth, who was conscripted as a Japanese soldier under Japan
