"나는 어디서 왔고 어디로 다시 가는 걸까?" 라는 물음에서 <잊혀진 세계>가 만들어졌다. 어쩌면 우리는 우주에서 신나게 놀다가 심심해져 지구로 여행 온 건지도 몰라. 그렇다면 우리는 고향을 잊고 너무 고되게 여행하고 있는 게 아닐까? 정말 지구로 여행 온 거라면, 가벼운 마음으로 하고 싶은 거 다 하면서 이번 생을 즐기다가 다시 고향으로 돌아가고 싶다.
<잊혀진 세계>는 말한다. 우리가 헤어진 곳, 우리가 다시 만날 곳, 우리가 돌아갈 고향이 있으니 지금은 편해지라고.
<The Forgotten World> raises the fundamental question: "Where do I come from and where am I going to?" Perhaps we had exhilarating experiences in outer space but eventually grew weary, leading us to embark on a journey to Earth. However, in the midst of this endeavor, have we become too consumed, forgetting our place of origin? If we came to Earth for the purpose of exploration, let us not lose sight of our ultimate goal: to return home after fully savoring this expedition. May we approach this life with a light-heartedness that allows us to fulfill all our desires.
<The Forgotten World> reminds us that there is a home from which we departed, where we shall reunite, and ultimately, where we shall return. Thus, let us find solace in knowing that we can put our minds at ease.
