This is not the image of Ryu Hyun-jin standing tall on the mound, ready to unleash a pitch with all his might. Instead, the painting places him somewhere unexpected at a playground where children run and play. But if you look closely, you’ll see that this, too, is a kind of playing field for him. His arm is wrapped in bandages, his white uniform stained with dirt and sweat visible traces of injury and rehabilitation. Yet, in his hand, he isn’t gripping a baseball. Instead, he’s holding onto the ropes of a swing, pushing children higher into the air. This piece is not merely a depiction of an injured athlete in an everyday moment. It’s a symbolic reflection of the weight Ryu carries not just as a player but as a father and a person navigating life beyond the mound. The uncertainty of his career due to injury, the sting of losses, the grueling road to recovery these are all battles of their own. But he continues to fight. Just as he pushes the swing with unwavering strength, he is pushing himself toward the mound once again. Baseball isn’t a sport of constant victories. Every player faces losses, setbacks, and injuries, but the true essence of the game and of sportsmanship is in overcoming those obstacles. Ryu’s worn uniform, his bandaged arm, and the dirt on his clothes are not mere details; they are marks of resilience, of the struggle to rise again. He is still fighting not just for another win, not just for his family, but for himself. His rehabilitation is more than a recovery process; it is a testament to perseverance, a refusal to let defeat define him. And we, as spectators, await the day he steps back onto the mound, ready to throw once more. The Unyielding Game transcends the simple notion of winning and losing. It delivers a deeper message that in both sports and life, true victory is not just about the final outcome, but about the journey and the mindset along the way. In competitive sports, winning is often the ultimate goal. But for an athlete facing injuries and adversity, what truly matters is not the scoreboard, but the ability to endure to keep going, to keep fighting. The title, The Unyielding Game, doesn’t imply domination over an opponent. Rather, it speaks to the unwavering spirit that refuses to break, the resilience to stand tall even in the face of defeat. Even when he is unable to stand on the mound, Ryu Hyun-jin’s battle continues through the pain of injury, the long road of rehabilitation, and the quiet strength of fatherhood. This, too, is part of his game. And in this game, he refuses to yield. This concept extends beyond sports; it mirrors a fundamental philosophy of life. We may stumble, we may lose, but true defeat only comes when we surrender. The unyielding game is a symbol of the mindset and belief held by those who refuse to give up, no matter the challenges ahead. — Hana Choi, April 2025 #류현진 #류현진선수 #류니버셜2025 #체육볶음Bob

37.9x45.5cm (8F) 캔버스에 아크릴물감과 비즈 *야광 그림이라서 밝은 곳에서 볼 수 있는 모습과 어두운 곳에서 보이는 모습이 하나에 담겨 있기에 위의 첨부 이미지 2장이 그림 한 점의 모습입니다. 제목: 고통의 중첩, 그리고 희망 고통은 반복되기도 한다. 삶은 고통의 연속이라는 말이 있듯 인간에게 어쩌면 고통은 필연적이다. 고통은 그렇게 반복되며 쌓이게 되어 여러 겹으로 중첩된다. 그러면서 그 고통의 색은 더욱 진해지며, 그로 인한 염증과 트라우마 역시 더욱 커진다. 하지만 인간은 그럼에도 불구하고 희망을 잃지 않는다. 아스팔트 사이에서도 새싹이 피어나듯 중첩된 고통 속에서도 희망의 빛이 피어나며 고통의 색은 연해지며 중화된다. 빛과 어둠이 교차하는 순간마다 고통은 중첩되고 희망은 피어난다. 작품은 그러한 인간의 삶이고 숨결이다.

스트라스부르까지 다시 돌아가기가 참 힘들었었다 기차역 근방에서 화재가 나는 바람에.. 멍하니 콜마르에서 스트라스부스까지 기차로 30분거리를 기차역에서의 두시간의 기다림.. 결국은 버스로 한시간걸려서 힘들게 돌고돌아 숙소까지도 걷고 걸어 힘들게 여행을 시작한 도시이다🥲 도시에 도착한 순간 모든 힘듦이 사라졌었다. #인스파이어드공모전
