  • The shot clock monument in Syracuse's Armory Square

    Artist

    Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Tick

    I go Armory Square about three times a week to eat out or to go to Starbucks. I thought it would be a nice chance to draw and paint where I go a lot. I like to sit there and drink coffee and talk to my friends. There are so many people on campus. I like to go to quieter places that are not too crowded. Downtown is always calm. My favorite season at home, in South Korea, is winter. In Syracuse, I guess fall is my favorite weather. I really like the weather and how the trees are so beautiful. It's wonderful in good weather. I like the fading colors. I like softness. The first time I saw the haiku, I did not know what the clock was. I asked my boyfriend and he told me it was about basketball. My painting does not include the kind of basketball feeling, but it's a feeling at a certain time of the year in Syracuse.
