KOREAN LITERATURE REVIEW CONTEST

"The sculpture is combined of four smaller sculptures one for each of what in my interpretation are main characters in the novel “I’ll be right there”. The four sculptures resemble two women and two men that all have a book open where upon a human heart lays. The sculptures are made to both stand alone or combined to one sculpture. The reason for this design is that in my interpretation/review of the novel, the four main characters have their own story to tell, they are alone to walk their own path but at the same time, they strive for content in their togetherness. The books and hearts resembles how the characters pours their thoughts and feelings into writing, be it letters, books or literature. I decided to sculpture actual human hearts instead of the common symbol of a heart, because a human heart is filled with both grim and elated feelings; it symbolizes the complexity of humans. This seemed fitting for the main characters that all battles these somehow contradicting feelings inside them.
