As I made my way through the twisty alleys and roads of Gamcheon Culture Village, I was struck by the lively and colorful spirit of the place. The houses are painted in vibrant hues of pink, blue, and yellow, and each corner turned brings a new work of art into view, whether it be a charming mural or a whimsical sculpture. Originally formed as a settlement for refugees during the Korean War, the village is now home to a thriving arts community with numerous galleries, studios, and shops offering unique works by local artists. As I admired the view of the sea in the distance, I thought about how this quaint little village represented a perfect encapsulation of human creativity and resilience.
