DIRECTING INTENTION
Mount Everest is 8848 meters high. It is the highest mountain in the world. But what would happen if a mountain higher than Mount Everest were discovered? This story starts from that imagination. Through the story, I try to talk about human greed, vanity and also reflection of myself on both.
