While having a drink with a friend in the small town of Yeongju, I witnessed deaf people gathering in groups after work and sharing their joys and sorrows of the day with sign language. Through their fierce sign language, I learned the similarity between my life and them that I had not been aware of. People with disabilities live with some deficiency because they are disabled, even though they share the same feelings as us. I would like to calmly capture the ordinary daily lives of the disabled, which are still erased from their daily lives.
