Even if you eat and talk happily with someone, the way back alone is always lonely.

Even if there is a family who understands me, a corner of my heart is empty and insecure.

Sartre argued that human beings feel insecure from their freedom and possibility of managing and enduring everything alone.

Heidegger saw that the object of anxiety is Dasein itself.

He saw the fate of humans, who are thrown into the world regardless of one's will, and had to leave for an unknown place, as the source of anxiety.

As in the case of romanticism, sometimes nature provides us with feelings of the sublime.

We experience the feeling of the sublime in the permanence and enormousness of nature in contrast to human finiteness.

In contrast to the scenery of the winter Jeju Island, anxiety, loneliness, depression and suffering exist within me.

I expressed those feelings in a pictorial way.
