I was contemplating what to express with this prompt. Then I decided to learn about Braille.
Interestingly, Braille was invented in 1824 by Louis Braille in France, based on military code system. Afterwards, his Braille system was widely spread throughout the world and become a writing system for People with visually impairments.
Braille was standardized by establishing a notation method for each language. Then, Braille for music, Braille for math,Braille for computer were also developed, greatly expanding their scope of use. And they are continuing to develop and change.
Braille is evolving over time. It is not just simple arrangement dots, but is considered to be an excellent medium for communicating with world through the fingertips.


This piece was designed using Korean and English Braille to write the words “평화” and “PEACE”. I chose these words because I felt like the world needs these words now more than ever.
Working on this piece, I had the opportunity to experience Braille.

Reading Braille seems like using a whole new sense, developed beyond the five senses we share. Your quilt looks like it could be read with fingertips. Well done.
