“The seeds of my heart bloomed into happy flowers and formed a wonderful forest!” A 38 weeks’ growing diary of understanding myself, friends and the world.

This exhibition is based on art works of 60 child and youth who visited and have participated programs of the art therapy in the department of mental health of Seoul Child Hospital for 10 months. The programs aimed to enhance self-expression and improve sociality. There are many different kinds of seeds in the heart of children.
