The documentary Breath of Tradition, Walking Today delves into the artistic worlds of painters Dae-Sung Park and Mi-Yeon Jeong, who are renowned for their contemporary reinterpretations of traditional Korean art. By focusing on the experience of Stanford University students visiting the Solgeo Art Museum in Gyeongju to learn from these master artists, the film highlights the dynamic fusion between tradition and modernity. Directed by Emma, the documentary conveys a powerful message: tradition is not merely a relic of the past, but a living, breathing force that shapes both the present and the future. Through this exploration, the film emphasizes our collective responsibility to preserve and advance cultural heritage.
