About

In a space lined with soft walls and old wooden stairs, what one encounters are photographs holding many faces, and diaries recording hope and suffering. Diaries and letters hung across the walls carry, in voices that seem to defy time, the breath of those who lived through that era. The sentiment revealed within the place's stillness carries emotion pressed down all the more, like stars spread across the night sky. The exhibition hall is filled with old documents, books, photographs, and small objects that carry traces of life. Those who pass through this place seem to carry the weight of the past lightly, sinking into the flow of time. Within the quiet space, the voices of those who survived continue on endlessly, prompting us to imagine ourselves today.
