"The Town Musicians of Bremen"

The Brothers Grimm's folk tale "The Bremen Town Musicians," collected in the early 19th century,
This is a story about animals whose purpose has been fulfilled, escaping their circumstances and embarking on a journey in search of a new life.
The sight of a donkey, a dog, a cat, and a chicken moving forward while overlapping each other is...
This story, which illustrates how a series of weaknesses can transform into strength, has been passed down through generations to this day.

In this work, this story is not presented as a single continuous period of time,
It is expressed by breaking it down into multiple scenes and then reconstructing them.
The paths each character has walked, the encounters they've had, and the moments leading up to the climax,
They are arranged within a screen divided like stained glass.

What is depicted is,
The donkey symbolizes the start of the journey.
Encounters with friends who carry musical instruments,
And then the scene that leads to the famous "stacking" composition,
Furthermore, it's a tense moment reminiscent of what happened in the mountain hut.
Each image is independent, yet together they form a single narrative.

The composition, separated by outlines, and the soft yet vibrant colors,
It creates an experience like "reading" a story scene by scene.
The time spent putting the pieces together one by one is
It's similar to the act of piecing together fragmented memories while following in the footsteps of the characters.

What appears in the finished screen is,
It's not just a children's fable,
Those who have lost their place in the world build new relationships and a sense of belonging through their own efforts.
It's a quiet yet powerful narrative.
