Program Note
There are Korean expressions for describing something foolish, such as foolish, idiotic, like a piece of crap, or a sea cucumber, or a sea squirt. Sea squirts are said to belong to the same phylum as humans. Chordates, which are skeletal structures that develop in the embryonic stage of an organism, begin from sea squirts, just as they do in humans. While humans may be considered superior and sea squirts inferior, this animation convincingly establishes a connection between the two through its imagery, suggesting that there is no significant difference between humans and sea squirts. This humorous alarm conveys the idea of embracing a life as it is, with a sense of humor. (SONG Eunji)
